Bovale Bobal Utiel-Requena Rosé 2024

Alcohol: 13%

Grape(s): 100% Bobal

Location: Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain

Tasting Notes: Vivid cherry-pink color with brilliant clarity; fresh and inviting aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, pomegranate and red cherry, with delicate floral notes of rose petal and a hint of citrus zest; light- to medium-bodied with a lively, refreshing acidity and a smooth, juicy palate, offering bright flavors of red berries, watermelon and a subtle mineral undertone, leading to a clean, crisp and pleasantly lingering finish.

Notes: Crafted from the indigenous Bobal grape — a variety deeply rooted in the Utiel-Requena region and increasingly celebrated for its ability to produce fresh, vibrant rosés — this wine benefits from the region's high-altitude continental climate, where warm days and cool nights preserve natural acidity and aromatic intensity. Cold fermentation at low temperatures ensures the wine's fruit-forward character and freshness are captured with precision.

Food Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs wonderfully with grilled prawns, paella, tapas, fresh salads, light pasta dishes and soft cheeses.

Winery Story: Bovale is a passionate producer dedicated to showcasing the extraordinary potential of the Bobal grape in the Utiel-Requena DO, one of Spain's most exciting and underappreciated wine regions. Situated on the high-altitude meseta of Valencia, the region's unique combination of old vines, extreme diurnal temperature variation and limestone-rich soils provides the perfect conditions for producing wines of remarkable freshness, depth and character. Through sustainable viticulture and minimal intervention in the cellar, Bovale crafts wines that are an authentic expression of Utiel-Requena's vibrant terroir and the Bobal grape's remarkable versatility.
