Sea Change Organic Red / Bobal 2019
Bobal, DO Valencia, Spain
Hailing from the sun-soaked vineyards of Valencia, Sea Change’s first organic red wine is from the Utiel Requena region of Spain which has been a winemaking area since the 7th century. Bobal, which is a native Spanish grape variety, is part of a growing trend of appreciation for indigenous grape varieties, which is exactly why we are so excited to have it in our range. We are delighted to be working with the fabulous winemaking team at Risky Grapes who expertly combine both traditional and sustainable growing and harvesting methods, bringing you the absolute best in organic, vegan wine. Did you know…the name Bobal, pronounced ‘bow-bal’, comes from the Latin word ‘bovale’ meaning bull? This reflects the fact that the Bobal grape cluster is tightly packed in a very distinctive shape, which looks like a bull’s head.
Tasting Notes
Our organic red wine balances intensity with the vibrant flavours of red and black fruits such as cherry, raspberry, and blackcurrant. With a deep ruby colour, this wine is full-bodied with high tannins and a beautiful long finish.
Food Pairings
Given its provenance, Sea Change Bobal makes the perfect partner for Iberian specialities such as paella, rice stews, chorizo, and charcuterie. It’s also a great match to chargrilled vegetables and, for cheese lovers, try a glass alongside Manchego.
When to drink
A fine wine in its youth, this wine will continue to improve over the next five years.
Environmental Benefits
Scientists estimate that less than 5% of the ocean has been explored, and only about one-third of the potential marine life that lives beneath the surface has been identified so far. We’ve only just started to understand our seas, which makes it more important than ever that we protect and preserve these amazing ecosystems. By purchasing this Sea Change organic wine, you are directly helping to support our amazing oceans around the world.
