2024 Finca Calvestra
BLEND | 100% Merseguera
VINEYARDS | The Finca Calvastra vineyard is a tiny plot at 900 meters altitude, with 100+ year old vines comingled with ancient olive trees. The Merseguera, which favors the slow ripening conditions at high altitude is one of very few plots and the only single vineyard of this almost extinct variety.
WINEMAKING | The wine is fermented and aged in tank & acacia barrels for four months following further aging in tank for another seven months.
TASTING NOTES
Creamy, elegant and fresh with citrus, white peach, and green tea aromas with distinct floral notes. Voluminous, juicy fruit flavors of pear and zest that are both agile and long on the palate. A complex, lasting, mineral finish that is refreshing, deep, and satisfying.

”The pure Merseguera 2024 Finca Calvestra has strong herbal notes, hints of fennel and aniseed and an austere, mineral/rocky core. It fermented in used 225- and 500-liter acacia barrels and stainless steel tanks and matured in used 500-liter acacia barrels for four months, plus a further seven months in small stainless steel tanks. It has 13% alcohol, a pH of 3.21 and 5.7 grams of acidity, meaning good ripeness, freshness and acidity, and it’s tender and velvety..” - Luis Gutierrez
