Bobal without makeup—a pure, frank, and vibrant expression of 60-year-old dry-farmed vines.
MÓN Bobal Essence 2025 is a testament to the native grape of Utiel-Requena, crafted to express its truest varietal nature. Sourced from the single 6-hectare "La Culebra" plot on the Casa de la Viña estate, these 60-year-old goblet-trained vines are dry-farmed in mixed clay-limestone soils. Fermented in stainless steel to retain all of its raw fruit intensity and energy, this wine is deep, authentic, and incredibly lively.
Tasting Notes
Color:Deep, intense dark red with a vibrant violet rim.

Palate:Juicy and bursting with fruit ("fruit in spurts"). It is vibrant, energetic, and structured by beautifully tamed, velvety tannins. A clean, honest, and captivating Bobal.
