About the Producer

John Lipscomb and Nuria Tobella are the soul and the strength of Finca Tobella, a project that expresses their personal approach to understanding wine, to live it, to enjoy it and make it enjoyable.

They have worked very hard to transmit something simple and complicated at the same time: a personality. And for this they have a base of unquestionable quality; grapes rooted in the Priorat. This is the origin of everything that is Finca Tobella. From here begins the unique character, the greatness really, of Finca Tobella wines.

Finca Tobella is also a personal and family project that started with the family's acquisition of different vineyard parcels. Thanks to John and Nuria's training at the University of California, Davis and their work experiences over the years at various Napa Valley and Sonoma wineries, they have added their personal stamp and personality to this effort.

Vineyard and Winery

Our goal with the Bocins negre is to produce a wine that is accessible with good fruit, fresher and with short barrel time (extraction) and aging. To this end we take great pains to not harvest grapes at an overripe stage and control fermentation temperatures. Thanks to the terroir and the varieties used in this blend, the wine has a good natural acidity which affords a liveliness and freshness not seen with most other wines of this class.

Fermented in both open and closed stainless steel fermentors at 20-24ºC over a period of 6-8 days with additional skin maceration of 1-3 days depending on the varietal and the conditions. Red grenache is vinified with carbonic maceration to maximize fruit aromas and mouthfeel. 40% of the wine is aged in new French oak (300L) from various forests for six months.
