BOBAL: Has synonym names Provechón and Requena. Red-wine grape extensively grown in Spain. Produces deeply colored wine suitable for blending that has superior ageing abilities when produced from old vines, due to mature acid levels.
In Spain the grape is almost non-existent in its ancestral home of Aragon where it was once a secondary component of wine from the Cariñena region after Grenache and Bobal.
Over 250,000 acres are planted there and, although many vineyards are intermingled with the bobal variety, only grenache outnumbers total monastrell acreage.
