{"title":"Bobal","description":"\u003cp\u003eBobal is a red wine grape that is primarily grown in the Utiel-Requena region which is located in the province of Valencia, is known for its hot and dry climate, which is ideal for cultivating this grape variety. Bobal is also grown in other regions of Spain, such as La Mancha and Alicante. The popular natural wine producer, Partida Creus, in Catalonia also make Bobal, including an Ancestral Pet Nat version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important characteristics of Bobal is its ability to withstand extreme weather conditions, making it a resilient and hardy grape. This resilience is reflected in the wine it produces, which is known for its deep color, high tannins, and bold flavors. Bobal wines often exhibit notes of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, as well as hints of spice and earthiness.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bodegas-cueva-bobal-ancestral","title":"Bodegas Cueva - Bobal Ancestral","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBobal Ancestral\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003ca href=\"\/en-pl\/collections\/bodegas-cueva\"\u003eBodegas Cueva\u003c\/a\u003e is a natural wine made in Valencia with \u003ca href=\"\/en-pl\/collections\/bobal\"\u003eBobal\u003c\/a\u003e grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MORE Natural Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33614285111436,"sku":"MORE1141NAT","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0221\/6407\/8692\/products\/Cueva---Bobal-Ancestral.png?v=1589104782"},{"product_id":"partida-creus-bb-2023","title":"Partida Creus - BB 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBB 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e is a natural wine crafted by \u003ca href=\"\/en-pl\/collections\/partida-creus\"\u003ePartida Creus\u003c\/a\u003e, in the Catalonia region in \u003ca href=\"\/en-pl\/collections\/spain\"\u003eSpain\u003c\/a\u003e.
