Bobal is a red grape variety native to the Utiel-Requena region of Valencia in eastern Spain, where it is one of the most widely planted varieties despite being relatively unknown internationally. Bobal produces deeply coloured wines with high acidity and firm tannins, showing flavours of dark berries, plum and a distinctive herbal, slightly savoury edge. Historically used mainly for bulk wine and as a blending grape due to its productivity, Bobal has undergone something of a renaissance as producers focus on old, low-yielding vines to create concentrated, characterful wines with real ageing potential. Its naturally high acidity also makes it well suited to producing fresh, vibrant rose wines with excellent colour. Bobal pairs well with grilled meats, tapas, charcuterie and hearty Spanish dishes. At Wines Direct, we offer a selection of Bobal wines from Spain. Discover this underrated variety online, with delivery across Ireland.
