AboutBaldovar 923
Led by Nito Alegre, Baldovar 923 began in 2016 with the revival of the village’s former cooperative winery. The name combines Baldovar, a village in Valencia’s Alto Turia, with its elevation of 923 metres. The project also restores local vineyards, particularly those planted to Merseguera.
Parcels rise from about 800 to 1,200 metres on limestone and siliceous soils, under dry conditions marked by cold winters and wide day-night shifts. The vineyards include Merseguera, Bobal, Macabeo and Mencia. Farming follows organic and biodynamic practices, with compost made from winery and vineyard material and minimal soil disturbance.

Citrus and mineral notes accompany fresh acidity and a long finish. Merseguera comes from old bush vines planted between 900 and 1,200 metres on silica-rich sandstone and limestone marl. After selection, the grapes are destemmed, pressed gently and settled at low temperature. Spontaneous fermentation takes place in French oak and stainless steel, followed by nine months split among clay amphora, 500-litre French oak and stainless steel.
