75 km west of Valencia we find the vineyards of Utiel-Requena. Heiner Sauer, eco-vintner from the Palatinate in Germany, founded Bodega Palmera at about 780 m altitude, in the heart of the still little known wine region together with his co-workers in 1998.

Climates as well as geological qualities of the soil of that region are excellent for ecological (vegan) wine production. Moderate harvests, selective harvesting by hand plus a slow and careful wine making process are the norm of the Bodegas Palmera.

The Bobal grape grows almost exclusively in the Utiel-Requena region. It has a strong character similar to the inhabitants of the region and is perfectly adapted to its climate, able to survive a year without rain. The Tempranillo on the other hand gives this wine finesse and fruitiness.

The young Bobal & Tempranillo has a clear and intensive fruit taste of cherries and almonds. An agreeable structure of the fermentation adds to its wholesome quality. A very good value and marvelously tasting wine for every day!
