PAGO DE THARSYS | ARGILA 2022
The Vineyard
In the northern part of our estate lies the Merlot vineyard (2 ha), characterised by clay-rich soils that provide structure and depth. This is home to the estate’s oldest vines, planted in 1981. Their low-yielding clone produces small clusters and exceptionally low yields, maximising the concentration and quality of each grape.
2022 Vintage
The Merlot harvest took place during the last week of September, at optimal ripeness. The 2021 vintage, characterised by lower yields, produced exceptional-quality grapes with a riper, more concentrated expression than the previous vintage.
Winemaking
This wine is produced using traditional winemaking methods and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. It is bottled without filtration to preserve its structure and aromas, so natural sediment may occur.
