The 2021 Cien Y Pico “¡En Vaso..!” Bobal is a vibrant and characterful Spanish red from Manchuela, crafted from old-vine Bobal grown at high altitude on limestone-rich soils. Made with minimal intervention and aged in used oak barrels, it reflects a philosophy of preserving pure fruit expression while adding subtle structure and depth.
The nose is bright and expressive, revealing abundant black fruit—blackberry, blackcurrant and mulberry—layered with notes of cocoa, cinnamon spice and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a soft, juicy texture and supple tannins. Flavours of dark berries, chocolate and gentle spice are balanced by fresh acidity, leading to a lifted, smooth and fruit-driven finish.
The style is bold yet approachable—combining rustic Spanish character with modern freshness—making it both easy-drinking and versatile at the table.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a great-value Spanish red for customers looking to explore lesser-known varieties like Bobal. Ideal for those who enjoy juicy, fruit-forward wines with a savoury edge. This is not a heavy, overly tannic wine—it’s about freshness, balance and drinkability. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with BBQ, tapas, grilled meats or hearty Mediterranean dishes.
