A full-bodied and fruity red from the Bobal variety, with delicious notes of ripe fruits of the forest, strawberry and raspberry complemented by liquorice and a hint of smoky spice.

El Renegado (‘renegade’) is a celebration of the old vines that fill the estate, all the fruit for this wine comes from the El Renegado single vineyard, where the vines have a minimum age of 50 years. The estate is situated in one of the premium winemaking areas in the DO Utiel-Requena. The vineyard lies approximately 50 miles inland from Valencia and has a distinct microclimate, which is best described as Mediterranean although it does have some continental influences due to its altitude, which varies from 800 to 900 metres.  The harvests generally start in August and finish at the end of September to early October; the grapes are picked at night or early morning, once the temperature has dropped in order to fully preserve the aromatic properties. The vineyard is certified organic. Bobal is a dark-skinned wine grape variety native to Utiel-Requena, it has thick skin, is late budding and has good drought resistance properties, which ensures Bobal is well-suited to the dry, continental landscape of the region.
