Merseguera

This is Mustiguillo's greatest white. But more than this, it illustrates the salvage of the Merseguera grape. The grapes come from old, organic, high altitude vines (900m) under continental climate influences. Limestone soils.

After the resurrection of the Bobal grape, Toni set himself to another task: the rehabilitation of Merseguera. This typical grape of the Alto Turia, near Valencia, had all but disappeared - only a few plonk wines of it still remained. This project started more than 10 years ago, on a slope vineyard at some 900 m above sea level, when Bobal grapes never seemed to ripen. Toni decided to replace them with Merceguera plants, and started some micro-vinifications. In 2011, he launched his first Merseguera wine, in small quantities. To give it more aromas and punch, he adds some Malvasia and Viognier to the blend.

This is Javi's first white wine, made from typical Valencian and Méditerranean varietals. These grapes come from the slopes of the Penya Foradà, in Font de la Figuera. The Pla del Micalet (or Michael's plain, Micheal being the patron saint of Valence), is located at 730 metres above the sea level. Only 2000 bottles!
