Description

A delicious and complex blend of indigenous old vine varieties showing a new side to modern Spain - with freshness and vibrancy at the core. Predominantly Merseguera (80%) with some Malvasia and Tortosi - the grapes are sourced from a 3.5 hectare plot on the Venta Vella estate, 620 metres above sea level. A nose of fresh lemon peel, white flowers and white peach. On the palate the fruit competes with the saline, flinty characters. Medium bodied with good weight and texture. The wine has a vibrancy driven by freshness of acidity. This is in contrast to Merseguera's reputation for being low acid and oxidative. Still, in Gabriel's careful hands he tames it into a pure, characterful and fresh expression, reflecting a new wave of Spanish wines.
