NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This is a complex, full-bodied red blend from Spain's D.O.Utiel-Requena. It features a mix of dominant Tempranillo, with Bobal, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot in supporting roles. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe dark fruit, blackberry, and cherry, followed by earthy nuances, spice, and a touch of wood. On the palate, it is mature and structured with a long, velvety finish. Overall, this is a well-balanced and elegant wine that pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Mustiguillo
Region: Valencia
Valencia, a wine region stretching along Spain's eastern coast, boasts a long history of winemaking dating back to the Roman era. It's one of the country's largest wine producers, encompassing two distinct Denominaciones de Origen (DOs): Valencia DO and Utiel-Requena DO. The Valencia DO is known for its diverse offerings, including light and refreshing Cava sparkling wines and rich red wines. Utiel-Requena DO, located further inland with a more continental climate, excels in full-bodied red wines, particularly those made from Tempranillo and the local Bobal grape. CUSTOMER RATING
