Lluvia Ancestral de Bobal
Alberto Pedrón comes from a long line of vine growers in Los Pedrones, a village of fewer than 200 inhabitants in the comarca of Utiel-Requena, Valencia. His most vivid memory from childhood is of the morning his father woke him before dawn to take him out to one of the family vineyards that had been freshly dusted with snow. Over the years, many of these familial plots fell victim to the “restructuring” of Spanish vineyard land, whereby old plantations were pulled up and replanted with higher-yielding varieties from other parts of the world. In 2006, a 6-hectare plantation that had been tended by Alberto’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather was similarly “sentenced to death”, and he decided to take action. To save the vineyard and, by extension, a way of working and living, he would resurrect the family bodega.
This ancestral method fizz is from 30+ year old organic Bobal vines, rooted in limestone. It was made without any additives, and disgorged February 2023. Tart and crisp, with perfumed pomegranate, rhubarb skipping across the light, buzzy palate, finishing bone dry with a stony shimmer. Authentic and modern view on this historic grape.
"The 2022 Lluvia Ancestral is an ancestral sparkling rosé produced with Bobal grapes. It's a young, clean and fresh sparkling wine with a dark pink color—as dark as their Garnacha red—with 13% alcohol and a powerful palate with abundant bubbles, flavors of red berry fruit and good freshness and balance. It finished fermenting in bottle, where it was kept with lees for seven months. 1,250 bottles produced. It was disgorged in April 2023. Drink 2023- 2025." - 90 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate
