Bodega Sierra Norte Heraclio Red 2023

The cellar of Bodega Sierra Norte is located in Requena and the vines grow about 900 metres above sea level in the village of Camporrobles, close to Utiel. The Bodega was started in 1995 and the first wines bottled in 1999. In the past the region was better known for the production of bulk wine, but recently local growers have focused more on quality and bottling. Among these is Sierra Norte who are leading the drive for better wines using local varieties.

The Heraclio red champions the local hero, the Bobal grape, it has a soft-natured character made up of juicy blue fruits and makes this organic vegan wine blend easy-to-drink next to the all-powerful Cabernet Sauvignon. Very satisfying.

On the palate, it offers rich dark fruit flavours balanced by smooth tannins and refreshing acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish.
