Bobal is one of Spain's most prolific vines yet it remains virtually unknown, especially compared to the neighboring grape variety Monastrell, which has seen a recent surge in popularity. Both of these grapes are from eastern Spain, an area known for an extreme Mediterranean climate. Bobal is uniquely suited for this, with its naturally high acidity, and makes some seriously original and delicious Spanish wines. Much harder to find than either Monastrell or Garnacha wines here in the US market, is worth seeking out.  The wine today is Bovale 2011, a Bobal wine from the Utiel Requena region. Check out my video review.  FYI: the bottle was hanging around and I was sipping now and then throughout the day, and this wine kept getting better!
