Baldovar 923 Merseguera Blanco Canada Paris 2022
High in the Serranía de Valencia about ninety minutes from the coast the team at Baldovar 923 is busy reviving a forgotten viticultural frontier. This is extreme altitude farming where eighty year old vines thrive at 1200 meters in a landscape defined by limestone and alpine air. The approach is one of rigorous minimalism using indigenous yeasts and lunar cycles to shepherd the fruit through a combination of stainless steel and seasoned French oak. Nine months of repose on the fine lees adds a sophisticated weight to the 100% Merseguera without obscuring its natural brilliance. Bottled unfined and unfiltered the wine is crystalline and chiseled offering a vibrant tension and a textured citrus profile. It is a direct and defiant expression of mountain terroir that proves Spain has far more to say than just the classics.
