La Casilla de Adrián 2016

Tasting: An indigenous grape variety in Spain’s southeast, Bobal has a chequered past. When over irrigated it can produce very large volumes of fruit, over cropped vines produce bland, sub-standard fruit. This coupled with its extremely good disease resistance has meant that it has been used extensively for poor quality bulk wine. However, in the right hands, with yields kept low, Bobal can produce exceptionally beguiling wines. A medium bodied wine with silky smooth tannin, that wraps around a core of earthy blueberry, smoked cacao, cassis and minerals.
