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. 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
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.
