Aula Bobal Rosé 2022

If you have never tasted a wine made from 100 percent Bobal grapes, vinified in red or, as in this case, in pink, you need not worry. Although it is the second most planted red grape variety in Spain (according to official numbers), it still remains quite rare outside national borders. Its key characteristic is that it gives rise to distinctly fruity wines with soft tannins and a long velvety finish. This rosé offered by Aula, a brand owned by the large Grupo Coviñas, is no exception. A super-pleasant wine from the look of it, thanks to its bright, vivid pink color. On the nose, then, it confirms its nature as a pleasantly fruity wine, with a delicate bouquet reminiscent mainly of small berries, and in particular strawberries and raspberries. The same notes are also well recognizable in the mouth, where, however, the wine is also distinguished by a pleasant natural freshness. An excellent aperitif, this Spanish rosé can accompany a light lunch or dinner. Because of its delicate nature, however, it can also safely be offered in combination with a mouth-watering end to a meal. Excellent, for example, alongside a bowl of berries au naturel or with a slice of fruit cake, with a thin layer of custard.
