La Comarcal Delmoro Blanco Valencia 2021

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. The vineyards are planted on calcareous clay soil at an altitude of around 600 meters, with a continental climate heavily influenced by the Mediterranean Sea. 

In the cellar, the two varieties are treated very differently.  The Chardonnay is fermented in used 500L foudres with native yeasts. The 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.

The resulting wine is both lean and broad on the palate, with a combination of both salinity and breadth.  A versatile pairing for cheeses, roasted vegetables, and lean poultry.
