2021 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 11 months in acacia wood barrels.
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 2021 Finca Calvestra fermented in 225- and 500-liter acacia barrels and matured with fine lees in those barrels and in stainless steel vats for 11 months. It has a similar level of alcohol, 13.5%, as the 2022 I tasted next to it but with a lower pH at 3.18 and with higher acidity. However, the wine had more influence from the élevage in wood and comes through as smoky and spicy and has the sensation of more volume in the palate” - Luis Gutierrez
