Murviedro Cepas Viejas Merseguera D.O.P. Valencia

• Exclusively elaborated with varieties from the vineyards in the ‘Medio Día’ fields, where the scarce organic matter in the soil and the long sunny hours result in a petite production per vine stock, of extremely high quality tough. Under the right conditions it is a wine that should evolve remarkably during the coming years

Region

• Denominación de Origen Protegida Valencia is situated near the Mediterranean coast in the east of the country, at an altitude between 250 and 1000 meters. The climate is warm with a strong influence from the Mediterranean Sea. For centuries vines have been grown on the chalky, clay soils which, in combination with long hours of sunshine, produce fruity wines that are well structured with ripe tannins

Grape Variety

• 100% Merseguera

Winemaking

• Made using the technique of carbonic maceration in the fermentation of the Merseguera grapes. When the intracellular fermentation reaches 2º of alcohol the grapes are pressed and the fermentation is completed in oak casks. In cask a ‘battonage’ is carried out once a week and the wine is aged on its lees for two months

Tasting Note

• Colour: Bright yellow with green tinges
• Aroma: Medium intensity aromas of ripe white stoned fruit with a hint of flowers, fennel and balsamic tones
• Taste: Smooth, round with flavours of apricot and dried peach. A wine with Mediterranean character, well balanced acidity and a long finish

Serving Suggestions

• Murviedro Cepas Viejas Merseguera is a very aromatic white wine with a big personality ideal to be served with salads, seafood, fieduàs, paellas and white meat. It is also excellent served on its own. Best served chilled between 6 and 8ºC
