Bodega Mustiguillo has pioneered the revival of indigenous grape varieties, championing the red variety Bobal, as well as the equally unknown white indigenous variety, Merseguera. The latter makes up 66% of this blend, alongside 23% Viognier and 11% Malvasía. The result is vivacious, yet elegant. The Merseguera contributes a very noticeable minerality and a citrus core, while Viognier and Malvasía bring a slightly rounder texture and more aromatic floral notes to the blend. The three varieties are perfectly offset against each other. This would be a perfect match for subtly spiced dishes like ginger and soy salmon. 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.
