Sericis Bobal, Cepas Viejas (Old Vine)

Sericis Bobal from Valencia, Spain – a remarkable wine crafted by Bodegas Murviedro, renowned for their dedication to producing exceptional wines since their establishment in 1927. Bodegas Murviedro, a prestigious winery nestled in the heart of the fertile Utiel-Requena region, is known for combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovation, resulting in wines of extraordinary quality and character.

The name “Sericis” holds special significance as it represents the silk-like texture and elegance that defines this exquisite Bobal wine. The Bobal grape, indigenous to Valencia, thrives in the region’s favourable Mediterranean climate, developing its unique flavours and aromas under the warm Spanish sun.

The production process of Sericis Bobal begins with hand-harvesting the grapes from carefully selected old vineyards, where the vines have matured for several decades, imparting depth and complexity to the wine. After the grapes are harvested, they undergo a meticulous sorting process to ensure only the finest quality fruit is used.

The winemakers at Bodegas Murviedro employ traditional winemaking techniques combined with state-of-the-art technology to craft Sericis Bobal. The grapes are gently destemmed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit flavours and maintain the wine’s freshness. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels, allowing it to develop additional layers of complexity and refinement.
