Baldovar 923 Arquela is a great Valencian Mediterranean white wine that originates from two selected parcels. Both vineyards provide small, golden, and mature fruits each year. Their locations allow us to extend the ripening period of the Merseguera grapes, ensuring concentrated, intense fruits with a high expression.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: In the glass, it is a golden wine with a slight straw hue and green reflections when young. It reveals small, pearly bubbles upon opening, which dissipate quickly—indicating careful aging that preserves dissolved carbon dioxide for natural protection until bottling.
Nose: The aroma is intense and profound, evolving through successive aromatic phases. At first, there are aromas of warm brioche and forest honey, intertwined with creamy, sweet French oak notes. With aeration, a defined scent of ripe lemon emerges, accompanied by a subtle fragrance of green banana, all supported by hints of garrigue and daisies.
Palate: The entry is distinctive, where velvety and rich textures embrace a sharp acidity, indicating its potential for long-term aging. The mid-palate stands out for its dense fruit material and freshness, wrapped in flavors of underbrush. The finish is long, agile, fruity, and tangy. The acidity lingers, enveloped in glycerol that creates a sensation of sweetness, without being cloying. The aromas from the nose reappear on the aftertaste.
