Bodega Mustiguillo is a certified organic family-run project which has worked hard to pioneer the revival of indigenous grape varieties, championing the red variety Bobal which forms 72% of this blend, alongside 17% Garnacha and 11% Syrah. The use of oak (10 months in French barrels) is restrained, creating a well-balanced and refreshing wine. It’s fruit-driven, with notes of dark berry fruit mixing with earthier notes of cocoa powder and a subtle hint of cinnamon and ground nutmeg. The finish is long, concentrated and fresh – thanks to the vineyards’ altitude of 800 metres above sea-level. Enjoy this with red meat or tomato-based dishes. Drink now to 2021.

Bodega Mustiguillo is certified organic and has worked hard to pioneer the revival of indigenous grape varieties, championing the red variety Bobal, as well as the equally unknown white indigenous variety, Merseguera – from which this wine is made. The nose is expressive yet restrained, with notes of pink grapefruit, white nectarine and a subtle hint of wild herb. The wine is aged on its lees in barrel, which gives it a slightly round, creamy mouth-feel, balanced by the fresh acidity. This would be great alongside seafood or summer salad dishes. Ready to drink now.

One word summarises the Mustiguillo message and that is Bobal, one of the greatest and most under-rated Spanish grape varieties, now on the cusp of a renaissance. Mustiguillo is a family project, dedicated to organic viticulture and the pursuit of elegance and finesse rather than excess oak and the like. A well-rehearsed mantra maybe, but one that does not have many adherents of such pedigree.

Located on terraced escarpments of ancient Dolomite limestone, the vineyards of Quincha Corral are seen by many as the definitive statement of the Bobal varietal. The bonus of the superlative 2012 vintage underlines this statement with a deeply coloured wine, its rich, smoky, floral aromas and luxuriant, grippy mouth-feel harnessing an ensemble that has a long and successful life to look forward to.
