NOtes from scott & becky:
If the winemaker cares enough to hand pick the grapes and then wrap each of his 10,000 bottles by hand you know you are in for a treat. Dark, rich, big, bold - why drink Cab when you can have Bobal?
helpful notes:
The 6˚ Elemento is the estate’s flagship wine, coming from 70-year-old bush-vine Bobal. The fruit is always hand-picked, and comes in to be fermented naturally in cask. The wine rests with its fine lees in American and French oak barrels for one year with occasional battonage in order to bring a rounder mouth feel to the finished juice. This Bobal is completely natural from start to finish, with no additives whatsoever, creating a dark, brooding and decadent wine, thick with spice and sweet tones from the wood. This wine is still remarkably balanced with ample acidity and tannin, showing elegance alongside power.
