Description

Produced from 5 native Valencian grape varieties grown at high altitude (900 to 1,000 m): Marisancho, Macabeo, Malvasia, Merseguera & Moscatel. Jose Luís Murciano has engaged all his village vine growers to follow his meticulous vineyard work to rescue the Marisancho grape variety; previously only used in blends with red Bobal grape. More than 40 local growers follow Jose Luis instructions in order to harvest around 3,000 kg. Processes follow organic practices and the biodynamic calendar. Hand harvested between mid August & early September in small 10kg crates, followed by 3 days of cold soak maceration at 2 degrees celcius. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeast. 50% of the wine is vinified in temperature control inox vats. 50% goes to 500L 3rd year French oak barrels for fermentation.

About the producer

Bruno Murciano, one of the UK’s most well regarded Spanish Sommeliers, with more than 16 years of international experience, is pursuing a lifelong dream to produce a range of wines made from Bobal in his native homeland of Utiel-Requena. Working alongside his brother Jose Luís who looks after the viticulture and winemaking with the initial help of David Sampedro, one of Rioja Alavesa’s 5 th generation of vine growers from an extremely talented winemaking family, they have combined their joint experience and passion to produce an amazing range of Artisan Family wines from high altitude 7 hectares of organically grown vineyards above 900m. Bruno and Jose Luís use artisanal methods and biodynamic techniques, with very little intervention in the cellar, whilst following the lunar biodynamic calendar to achieve the very best results.
