Bobal 

Here’s Bobal with a bit of polish — ripe, rustic fruit meets a touch of oak-aged elegance. Finca los Halcones gives you juicy blackberry and plum with hints of clove, cocoa and a little earthy grip. It’s medium-bodied, smooth and quietly serious, showing off what this underrated grape can really do with a bit of care. 

Great with grilled pork, lentil stew, or manchego and jamón. It’s the kind of bottle that makes you wonder why more people aren’t talking about Bobal.
