Ferrer Bobet 是西班牙葡萄酒界的現代傳奇。著名酒評家 Robert Parker 曾讚譽：「Bobet 追求的極致平衡在這裡完美展現。」Ferrer Bobet Seleccio Especial 作為旗艦酒款特別受注目，其中 2008 年更被《神之水滴》選為第 11 位門徒，備受推崇。

酒莊創立於 2002 年，由 Torres 前首席釀酒師 Raül Bobet 與製藥業巨擘 Sergi Ferrer-Salat 共同創辦。位於 Priorat 山頭的酒莊，象徵創新與優雅的融合。

葡萄園專注於兩大品種：Garnacha (Grenache) 和 Cariñena (Carignan)。理想的日夜溫差及斜坡上的 llicorella 板岩土壤，有助葡萄生長。

品酒筆記：
(Robert Parker's rating: 96 points):
2019 年的 Selecció Especial Vinyes Velles 並不是一款害羞的葡萄酒，它的酒精度達14.5% … 只用 Cariñena 單一品種，但輪廓更深、更樸實，一切都多了一點 —— 色澤更深、香氣更濃、果實顏色較深、石墨更多。酒體飽滿，但極其平衡。有質感，有深度，有層次，非常細膩的單寧。這是一款強大，具備陳年潛力的葡萄酒，現在亦很平易近人。2021 年 8 月裝了 4,897 瓶和 150 瓶大樽。

Music to enjoy with: The Orb Featuring David Gilmour - Metallic Spheres

這次 David Gilmour 與 The Orb 合作的作品 Metallic Spheres ，令人想起早期仍有 Syd Barret 的 Pink Floyd，如 Echoes 般帶點迷幻幽玄氛圍。具線條的結他像 Llicorella 板岩的層次，Gilmour 招牌結他 Sustain 像濕礦石般閃礫，節奏簡約，富層次的旋律和結他深入地心，帶你去一趟深度時空旅行。

Ferrer Bobet is a modern legend in Spanish wine. Founded in 2002 by Raül Bobet, former Chief Winemaker at Torres, and pharmaceutical magnate Sergi Ferrer-Salat, the cutting-edge winery in Priorat stands as a bold symbol of innovation and finesse.

Renowned critic Robert Parker praised its wines for “everything in an amazing balance,” and its 2008 flagship was featured as the 11th Apostle in The Drops of God manga.

The estate cultivates Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan) on steep slopes rich in llicorella slate, benefiting from dramatic day-night temperature shifts. Pedro Ballesteros MW hails Raül Bobet as “a master of Cariñena,” crafting wines of remarkable texture and complexity.

Ferrer Bobet Selecció Especial shines as the flagship wine, celebrated for its elegance and prestige. The 2008 vintage was notably chosen by The Drops of God as the 11th Apostle, earning international acclaim and cementing its reputation as one of Priorat’s most distinguished expressions.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 96 points)
2019 Selecció Especial Vinyes Velles is not a shy wine, as it comes in at 14.5% alcohol...This is only Cariñena, and the profile is darker and earthier, with a little more of everything—a darker color, a deeper nose, darker fruit and more graphite. It's full-bodied but incredibly balanced, textured, with depth and layers, nuances and very fine tannins. It's a powerful wine for the long haul that is approachable already. 4,897 bottles and 150 magnums were filled in August 2021.
