Montesanco MÓN Bobal Centenario 2023 (750ml)

New vintage of this first red wine made at the Montesanco Requena winery, our most emblematic wine and the one that inspired our Montesanco project within the framework of a sustainable philosophy of recovering old vines of native varieties.

VINTAGE 2023
Slightly more rainy than average. Sprouting began in early May in a homogeneous
manner and with good development due to a rainy and cool April.

Ripening was slow and lasted until the end of September. As a result of storms at the end of August and beginning of September, the grapes were harvested in mid-October.

REGION
D.O.P Utiel-Requena

VITICULTURE
100% Bobal from goblet-trained, dry-farmed vines over 100 years old at an
altitude of 731 meters with a mixed clay-limestone soil and a yield per vine of 1
kg.

Biodynamic vineyards from a plot of 4.5 hectares located on a
small hill.

The grapes were harvested in the second half of October.

WINEWMAKING
The grapes are harvested at optimum maturity.

Alcoholic fermentation takes place partially in French oak barrels and the wine is then racked into new French oak barrels where malolactic fermentation takes place and the wine is aged for 14 months with "bâtonnage".

TASTING NOTES
• Color: High layer and intense ruby color.
• Nose: Ripe red fruits predominate along with Mediterranean balsamic aromas
such as lavender and a mineral background.
• Palate: black and red berries as well as notes of fig and toasted aromas. An
intense, vibrant wine with firm tannins. With a lot of presence, mineral
background and good acidity that augurs an excellent future for this wine.

ANALYSIS
• Alcoholic content: 15 % Vol.
