Ceremonia Reserva is a wonderful blend of the noble Tempranillo and Cabernet varieties with the indigenous Bobal. A signature wine from Utiel – Requena.
Made with grapes from selected vineyards at the Hoya de Cadenas Estate, where the combination of lime-clay soil and summer temperature contrasts – hot days and cool nights – are ideal for obtaining wines with intense aromas and excellent concentration.
Vicente Gandia Bobal Blanco. This white wine has been made from Bobal variety red grapes. They have been hand-picked and whole pressed with a yield of under 45%. The grape juice is left cold with its lees for three days in order to absorb the colour extracted. Once cleansed takes place the fermentation at 14º C. The wine is then carted into French oak barrels once it has been measured and has completed its fermentation process.
A Blanc de Noirs made with the bobal variety and with the appellation of origin Utiel – Requena. A wine made exclusively by José Hidalgo, the winery’s Technical Director and a prestigious winemaker in the wine industry.
