Moravia Bobal & Albillo Real Vino Tinto 2020

Wine Description for Moravia Bobal & Albillo Real Vino Tinto 2020 by Jimenez – Landi

Colour & Appearance

Muted purple with vibrant violet reflections – dense and impenetrable, as one would expect from a wine of this depth.

Nose

The nose is seductive and dark: black cherries, sweet blackberries and preserved figs meld with the sensuality of fine dark chocolate. With air, sweet mocha and a hint of liquorice unfold. Beneath this pulses a vibrant, ever-present minerality – the clear signature of granite and sandy soils at over 1,100 metres altitude.

Palate

On the palate, the wine reveals its most impressive side: dense, dark fruit, a refined, underlying sweetness and a tannic structure that is firm yet never harsh – gently restrained by that very fruit. Combined with a refreshing liveliness that conveys lightness and tension despite 14% alcohol. A wine with genuine character and inner composure.

Finish

Long, warm and complex. Umami notes and a soft echo of chocolate and spices linger. A finish that invites you to linger.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyards of Méntrida, west of Madrid, rank among Spain’s most exciting hidden gems. At 1,100 metres altitude, on barren granite and sand, ancient vines battle through extreme climate – scorching summers, bitterly cold nights. This forges wines of rare depth and precision.

Grape Variety & Vinification

An unusual, tension-filled blend of Bobal and Albillo Real, harvested from 100-year-old vines grown biodynamically. Hand-picked, fermented with wild yeasts in French oak barrels, unfiltered, unstabilised. Only 1,200 bottles were produced – a wine for the initiated.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideal with duck liver terrine with blackberry jelly and dark chocolate, with guinea fowl with truffle, blueberries and celeriac purée or – for the adventurous cheese lover – with Bleu d’Auvergne with preserved black currants and crispy baguette.

Special Features

Jiménez-Landi ranks among the leading natural wine pioneers of the Meseta. This wine is no mass-market product, but a handcrafted document of an extraordinary place – demanding, honest and profound.
