About Merseguera

Merseguera is primarily grown in the DOs of Valencia, DO Utiel-Requena, and DO Alicante.

It ripens late and is especially common in areas with little rainfall. The vine adapts well to different soil types. The bunches are medium-sized and fairly loose, with medium-sized, yellowish-green grapes. Their pale, sometimes straw-colored hue is notable.

It produces high-quality wines with slightly herbaceous nuances and a slight hint of bitter almonds.

In colder areas, the result is a very fine wine, with light aromas and low acidity. In warmer areas, the wines can have a high alcohol level, allowing for the production of semi-sweet wines.
