Bodegas Mustiguillo

Bodega Mustiguillo is located on the altiplano of the Valencia region, at an elevation of over 800 meters, and was founded by Toni Sarrión in 1999 with the goal of restoring the prestige of Bobal, a remarkable native Valencian grape variety (easily recognizable by its beautiful, balanced acidity and its color, which is unique among all southern varieties). Bodega Mustiguillo’s 89-hectare vineyard is certified organic, and yields are extremely low, ranging from 12 to 18 Hl/Ha. The climate is continental in nature, despite being in a Mediterranean region, strongly influenced by the altitude and distance from the sea, with low rainfall and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night. The soil is sandy-clay with a high sediment content, overlying a limestone subsoil that outcrops at a depth of only about 60 cm to 1 m.

In 2010, Bodega Mustiguillo was ranked among the “Grandes Pagos de España” (equivalent to our grands crus), alongside such illustrious names as AALTO and MAS DOIX. Often highlighted by Ferran Adrià, owner of the world’s best restaurant, EL Bulli, the top vintages (Quincha Corral and Finca Terrerazo) are regularly rated 94 and 95 by Peñín and 92 to 95 by Robert Parker.
