Buy Wine with Bobal
Bobal variety is grown basically in the provinces of Valencia, Cuenca and Albacete, being especially important in the designations of origin Utiel-Requena and Manchuela where it is the predominant variety.
Bobal clusters are big and packed with berries of medium size. It has a middle-late budding and ripening. This variety is vigorous and fruitful with high performance and short and severe pruning is strongly recommended. Bobal variety is extremely resistant to drought; however, it is likely to suffer powdery mildew and botrytis cinerea.
Bobal variety usually ripens irregularly, that's the reason why Bobal wines are a bit unsophisticated, but the best specimens show a soft and deep colour. Traditionally Bobal variety was used for bulk wines, but those winemakers who decided to plant Bobal vineyards in high lands, as Mustiguillo in Utiel-Requena and Finca Sandoval in la Manchuela, they have obtained fresh, velvety red wines with a balanced alcoholic content and good structure.
