Finca Calvestra Merseguera 2023

The 2023 Finca Calvestra shows a younger and more floral side of the Merseguera grape by fermenting it in used 225- and 500-liter acacia barrels and maturing it in 500-liter acacia barrels for four months plus a further seven months in small stainless steel tanks. It has 13% alcohol, a pH of 3.23 and 5.48 grams of acidity. It is a little reductive, with notes of burnt match and flint but with a mineral core reminiscent of its older sibling. It has a subtle Mediterranean note of underbrush. In 2023, they picked the grapes even earlier, after the experience with 2022. The wine has contained ripeness, a medium-bodied, elegant palate and a chalky finish. Great finesse. 13,684 bottles produced. It was bottled in July 2024.

Merseguera aromática que muestra sus raíces mediterráneas procedente de dos parcelas de Requena. El vino presenta aromas pronunciados de hinojo, salvia y tomillo. La influencia de madera, bien dosificada —se crió durante cuatro meses sobre lías en barricas de acacia—, se integra a la perfección, ofreciendo una estructura firme, equilibrada con una acidez picante. El final es seco, con notas de lima. 2025-29
