Risky Grapes La Traca Bobal Valencia DO 2018

This juicy, savory red comes from the El Ardal vineyard, just south of the town of Requena in Valencia. These old vines (58+ years old) are planted on sandy clay soils and farmed organically. Fruit is hand harvested, fermented with native yeasts in stainless and cement tanks, and aged mostly in stainless with a small amount in old foudres for three months, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. This certified organic cuvee is primarily made from the bobal grape, with a small amount of tempranillo, and is delightfully easy-drinking! Crunchy bright red fruit forms a juicy core embellished with savory herbal notes and a lightly earthy finish. The festive wrappers on the tops of vines (depicted on the label) are firecrackers used for the Fiesta de Fallas, on March 19, to celebrate happiness – and this bottle is sure to give your taste buds are reason to celebrate! Certified organic, vegan.
