La Comarcal, Merseguera "Delmoro Blanco" Spain 2021
95% Merseguera, 5% Chardonnay
Delmoro Blanco is well-balanced and exotic, with notable texture and energy, a perfect accompaniment to the incredible foods of Valencia.
La Comarcal is a small project by two good friends, Javi Revert and Victor Marqués. Located in the mountainous village of Venta del Moro in the Valencia D.O., La Comarcal (“The District”) is a young winery founded in 2017 with the inspiration of making delicious, youthful wines — new expressions based on the old mountain vineyards of native Valencian grape varieties they farm with certified organic viticulture and native yeasts.
Delmoro Blanco comes from vineyards near the village of Venta del Moro, a blend of young and old vines from the indigenous merseguera and old-vine chardonnay. Vineyards are planted on limestone-rich calcareous clay soil at an altitude of around 600 meters, with a continental climate heavily influenced by the Mediterranean Sea.
After a rigorous selection in the vineyard, each varietal is hand-harvested separately and whole bunches are pressed in a pneumatic press. Chardonnay is fermented in used 500L foudres with native yeasts, followed by six months in the same barrels on the fine lees without bâtonnage. Merseguera is fermented with native yeasts and aged in concrete tanks for six months. The two varieties are then blended and rested before a very light filtration, but no fining, before bottling.
