VINOS LA HIGUERA VALENCIA, SPAIN
Friends Javier del Blanco and Jorge Navascues were convinced that Bobal could make more interesting wines than the rosés usually produced in Utiel-Requena. In 2017, they partnered with Modesto Francés and the Valsangiacomo family, locals who already had the best sites in their hands. They use old vines, gentle handling of the grapes, and minimal intervention in the cellar. Wines this fresh and subtle from this part of the world are rare! And the wine press has been quick to recognize this impressive work; their very first wine received 93 points from James Suckling.
