Description
Merseguera, Macabeo & Moscatel
D.O. Alicante
Vintage: Characterised by the drought for another year, although the summer was milder than normal and the corresponding Spring rains resulted in a long ripening process which produced grapes of the highest quality. Harvest at the beginning of September.
Vineyard: The vineyards of Tarima are located between Sierra de Salinas, Sierra de Umbria and Sierra de La Sima at an altitude of 600 to 750 m above sea level. The grapes of this wine come from a total of 20 hectares planted between 1960 and 1970. All of them grown in the low system under natural conditions. The soil is lime and poor in organic matter and gives low production.
Production: Indigenous varieties are picked at the beginning of September. At this time the grapes are mature and give very clean musts. Fermenting at a low temperature (16 degrees), to maintain the fruit of the grape, creates a very aromatic, pleasant wine.
Analysis: Brilliant straw colour. In the nose the scent of White flowers, fresh fruit and aromatic herbs. In the mouth it is tasty, balanced with excellent acidity.
Accompaniment: Perfect accompaniment to seafood, shellfish, fish, uncured cheeses, salad and rice
