WINE DESCRIPTION

Mustiguillo Mestizaje Tinto is a premium red wine produced by Mustiguillo Winery, located in the Utiel-Requena appellation of Spain. The vineyards are situated at high altitudes, which provide ideal growing conditions for the Bobal grape variety. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, resulting in a wine that is both elegant and complex. Mestizaje Tinto is a blend of Bobal, Garnacha, and Syrah grapes, which gives it a unique flavor profile with notes of red fruit, spices, and a hint of minerality. This wine is a perfect example of the high-quality wines that can be produced in the Utiel-Requena region.

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.
