Description
The Pago de Tharsys 'Argila' Merlot 2021 (Organic) is a distinguished expression of one of the few estate-specific "Vino de Pago" classifications in Spain. This prestigious status reflects the unique character of the high-altitude vineyards in Requena, where the Merlot grapes thrive in heavy clay ("Argila") soils. This specific terroir, combined with meticulous sustainable viticulture, produces a wine of remarkable structure and elegance.
The 2021 vintage displays an intense cherry-red colour and a complex bouquet of ripe blackberries, black plums, and subtle hints of balsamic and Mediterranean herbs. Aged in French oak, the palate is full-bodied and velvet-textured, featuring well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish. It is a sophisticated red that pairs beautifully with roasted meats and aged cheeses. A red wine with soul and character.
