After the resurrection of the Bobal grape, Toni set himself to another task: the rehabilitation of Merseguera. This typical grape of the Alto Turia, near Valencia, had all but disappeared - only a few plonk wines of it still remained.
This project stated more than 10 years ago, on a slope vineyard at some 900 m above sea level, when Bobal grapes never seemed to ripen.
Toni decided to replace them wth Merceguera plants, and stated some micro-vinification. In 2011, he launched his first Merseguera wine, in small quantities. To give it more aromas and punch, he adds some Malvasia and Viognier to the blend.

Trial analysis
Very open, alluring nose of flowers and melon. Very lively and even a little fizzy on the palate, shadowing the aromas of the nose. This is more an elegant than an opulent wine. Not one's general idea of a Spanish white wine. Medium bodied. Very consistent.
