Bobal, a grape indigenous to the Upland Valencia region of Spain, particularly Manchuela, has a rich history dating back centuries. Traditionally used for bulk wines, it has recently seen a resurgence in quality-driven winemaking. The 2022 Vegatolosa Hoya del Carmen is a testament to the Bobal grape's versatility, showcasing a lighter expression from the Manchuela region. This wine delights with vibrant notes of fresh plum and blackberry. Its palate is alive with these fresh fruit elements, presented in a style that's both accessible and nuanced, offering a contemporary take on a varietal steeped in history.
The wine's lively character pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. For an authentic regional experience, try it with Rabo de Toro (oxtail stew), a dish that complements the wine's fresh plum and blackberry notes. A vegetarian pairing might include a hearty lentil and vegetable stew, which can harmonize with the wine's freshness and fruit profile. For a simpler yet satisfying option, a selection of Manchego cheese and Iberian ham will accentuate the Bobal's flavorful expression, creating a delightful culinary journey through the heart of Spain's wine heritage.
