Sericis Old Vine Bobal Magnum, the finest expression of Bobal in a special format
Sericis Old Vine Bobal Magnum is a red wine made from grapes grown on old Bobal vines, one of the true gems of the Valencian vineyard. Presented in a 1.5-litre Magnum bottle, this special edition is designed for those who wish to enjoy an outstanding wine during celebrations, special meals or as a gift for wine enthusiasts.
Over the past few decades, Bobal has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a traditional grape variety into one of Spain's most highly regarded native grapes thanks to its ability to produce elegant, complex wines with a distinctive Mediterranean character.
At Licorea, we believe that Sericis Old Vine Bobal Magnum perfectly represents this evolution, offering a wine with a unique identity in a format that encourages slower, more harmonious ageing over time.
The strength of old vines
Old vines naturally produce lower yields, but the grapes they bear offer greater aromatic intensity and exceptional depth of flavour.
In Sericis Old Vine Bobal, these low-yielding vines produce fruit of outstanding quality, allowing the Bobal variety to express its full personality.
Inland areas of the Valencian Community provide ideal conditions for Bobal to produce wines with excellent structure, natural freshness and impressive ageing potential.
The character of the Bobal grape
For many years, Bobal remained in the background, but today it is recognised as one of Spain's most promising indigenous grape varieties.
Its balance of fruit, acidity and structure allows the production of highly food-friendly wines with a clearly Mediterranean identity.
In Sericis Old Vine Bobal, aromas of ripe black fruit, wild berries, sweet spices and subtle balsamic notes take centre stage, beautifully integrated with the nuances contributed by oak ageing.
On the palate, it offers excellent structure, ripe tannins and a silky texture leading to a long, elegant and persistent finish.
Within our selection of Valencian red wines, this wine stands out as one of the finest interpretations of the Bobal variety.
The Magnum format, allowing the wine to age more gracefully
The 1.5-litre Magnum bottle offers more than just an impressive presentation. Its lower oxygen-to-wine ratio also encourages slower maturation, helping preserve aromas and extending the wine's ageing potential.
This characteristic makes Magnum bottles the preferred format for many enthusiasts and collectors.
It is also ideal for sharing at family gatherings, celebrations and special occasions.
A wine made for Mediterranean cuisine
The structure and balance of Sericis Old Vine Bobal make it an excellent companion for grilled meats, lamb, traditional rice dishes, hearty stews, Iberian cured meats and mature cheeses.
Its lively acidity also makes it suitable for many Mediterranean dishes where heavier red wines could overwhelm the flavours.
This is a wine designed to be enjoyed slowly, allowing its aromas and complexity to evolve throughout the meal.
Bodegas Murviedro and the revival of Bobal
Bodegas Murviedro has spent many years promoting and revitalising the indigenous grape varieties of the Valencian Community.

At Licorea, we believe that Sericis Old Vine Bobal Magnum is an outstanding choice for anyone wishing to discover one of the finest wines made from Bobal. Its special format, the quality of its old vines and the authentic Mediterranean character it expresses make it an excellent wine both to enjoy now and to cellar for years to come.
