Bruno Murciano, Parajes del Calabriel 2022, Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain

Award winning and highly celebrated sommelier, Bruno Murciano returned to his hometown of Caudete de las Fuentes in Valencia to fulfil his dream of making his own wine. He and his brother, José Luis (who is a trained winemaker, studying in Rioja and Bierzo) took on the magnificent estate of Las Brunas which consists of 6ha of ancient vineyards high in the Valencian hills, mostly dedicated to Bobal as well as other local varieties. Their focus is freshness and authenticity, to bring a true expression of the historic Valencian terroir through organic and biodynamic farming and minimal intervention in the winery.

The Parajes del Calabriel is 100% Bobal grown on old bush vines at 950m above sea level bringing great freshness to the wine alongside it's sun baked fruit quality with plenty of strawberries, raspberries and blackcurrants on the nose. Ever so slightly earthy and chalky tannins.
