Delmoro Tinto Valencia - La Comacal 2021
Delmoro Tinto Valencia Description
La Comarcal is a small project by two good friends: Javi Revert and
Victor Marqués. Located in the mountainous village of Venta del Moro
in the Valencia D.O., La Comarcal (“The District”) is a young winery
founded in 2017 with the inspiration of making delicious, youthful wines—new
expressions based on the old mountain vineyards of native Valencian grape
varieties they farm with certified organic viticulture and native yeasts.
Delmoro Tinto comes from vineyards near the village of Venta del Moro
between 15 and 50 years old. The garnacha that makes up 60% of the blend
comes from a 4ha single-vineyard called Guindal planted in 1987 at 600m.
Bush-trained, old-vine syrah makes up the remainder of the blend. Delmoro
Tinto is a Mediterranean red with great freshness and balance, with a fruit-
driven, approachable palate perfect for just about any food pairing.
Vinification
After a rigorous selection in the vineyard, each variety is hand-harvested
separately and 70% of the grapes are destemmed and crushed, while 30%
are vinified as whole bunches with stem inclusion. Garnacha and syrah are
fermented separately in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts, followed
by eight months aging in stainless steel for garnacha and concrete tanks
for syrah. The two varieties are then blended and rested before a very light
filtration, but no fining, before bottling.
