Vicente Gandia Bobal Blanco by Pepe Hidalgo is a white wine from Utiel – Requena appellation of origin. It is pale yellow with a reddish hue. Aromas of wild strawberries, white flowers and ripe fruit. On the palate, it has a well-balanced acidity with a refreshing long finish reminiscent of fruits of the forest.
This white wine has been made from Bobal variety red grapes. For that it’s been hand-picked and it’s been pressed with a yield of under 45%. It must be left cold so that they can be kept for three days in order to absorb the pale colour which has been extracted and to allow it to be fermented once it has been cleansed at 14º C. The wine is then carted into French oak barrels.
This wonderful Blanc de Noirs has received other awards such as: Gold Medal in Unión de Catadores, 90 Points in Decanter World Wine Awards and 90 Points in Guía ADN Verema.
Undoubtedly, this award places Vicente Gandia Bobal Blanco by Pepe Hidalgo on the first shelves of Spanish wines in the USA and on many of the menus of restaurants in that country.
