Just old-vine Bobal, whole-cluster fermented and aged in neutral vessels, capturing freshness, fine tannins, and site expression. Although a thick-skinned varietal, this Bobal is not trying to impress with weight; it’s about finesse, depth, and chalky precision. A benchmark for what thoughtful, terroir-driven Bobal can be. This is Bobal in its highest form: aromatic and fresh, with notes of dark berries, wild herbs, and a signature mineral streak. This is a dynamic, utterly delicious wine from one of Spain's most exciting winemakers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"T.

The \"Very Good\" 2024 vintage, characterized by balanced rainfall, warmer temperatures, and significant diurnal shifts, ensured excellent grape maturation, contributing to a wine of notable freshness and fruit. Cultivated on Rueda's high-altitude plains, the vines thrive in rocky, sandy, and chalky-clay soils, benefiting from a continental climate that balances warm days with cool nights, crucial for retaining the grape's natural acidity and developing complexity. The Parra family, pioneers of organic and Demeter-certified biodynamic viticulture, crafts this wine with minimal intervention, utilizing native yeast fermentation and stainless steel aging to preserve the varietal's authentic profile. This commitment to purity, combined with Rueda's distinctive terroir, yields a truly \"gulpable\" Verdejo that is dry, unfined, and unfiltered, showcasing a profound connection to its origin and producer's craft.","brand":"T.
