Tasting notes
```html
It displays a black apicotado color, with good depth.
On the nose, it is complex and expressive, with mineral aromas alongside notes of black fruit and juanola. Bodegas Obalo (2006) is a project of Avanteselecta, a wine group that produces wine in the main Spanish designations of origin. It was born with the philosophy of capturing the essence of tempranillo from old vines cultivated in a wine-growing region considered one of the best in the world: in the heart of the Sierra Cantabria, in a locality like Ábalos, among the villages of San Vicente de La Sonsierra, Labastida, Samaniego, or Páganos. The winery (with modern design and practical, innovative facilities) is located right on the border of La Rioja Alta, although most of its vineyards are in Rioja Alavesa. Obalo has 2 hectares of its own vineyard and 40 hectares of controlled vineyard, all of the tempranillo variety and located on the slopes of the Sierra Cantabria, south-facing, in valley areas, and in the undulations of the landscape, on terraces. These are old bush vines with an age ranging from 40 to 90 years. Bodegas Obalo dedicates most of its production to the international market.
