Bodegas Mikaela Rubio - 2018 - El Reflejo de Mikaela - 750 ml.

These vineyards, which are located in the villages of Pozoamargo and Casas de Benítez, are located in the southeast of the province of Cuenca, in the historic basin of the Rio Jucar. The soils of large rounded stones owe their origins to this historic river, and create one of the most unique and differentiated terroirs in the vast diversity of Spanish vineyards. Thankfully, this area was also spared from the mass uprooting and commercialization of Spanish viticulture in the 60's and 70's, and as a result, has a tremendous diversity of field blended microparcels planted to Bobal and myriad other indigenous varieties. This is a little known area with a rich viticultural history, but climactically and geographically is the closest approximation in Spanish viticulture to the vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
