Description

Manchuela is the spiritual home of the Bobal grape, where it maintains acidity, even in the warm, arid climate. Clos Lojen is a pure and fresh 100% Bobal from limestone soils, fermented in big oak casks.

Sweet, ripe nose with warm, plummy dark cherry and blackberry fruit, and a hint of baked cherry pie. The palate is ripe and sweet but with a pronounced savoury, structured edge. Dense, mouth-filling and spicy with some drying tannins. Dangerously drinkable - pair with friends.

Clos Lojen is selected from six small parcels of the local variety Bobal: Abuleo, Señorita, Cerro, Lujan, Embudo y Almendros. The traditional bush vines are between 30-50 years old and the soils are mainly chalky clay. Vines are grown at 800 metres above sea level, producing fresh, balanced juice from slow maturing grapes with fantastic acidity
