Buy Wine with Maturana Tinta
Merenzao is a variety original from the Jura region, France. It is very vigorous and has early budding and ripening, but it needs places with good sun exposure to mature completely. Its clusters are small and packed with medium to small berries of thick skin and high sugar content.
In France, Merenzao is one of the two main red grapes natives from Jura, but it represents only 5% of the vineyards as it requires more sunlight hours than other varieties and prefers warm gravel soils or clay-limestone soils. Merenzao wines have a deeper and more intense colour than Poulsard. Merenzao variety produces full-bodied wines, warm and well constructed. This is one of the principal varieties authorised to produce red and rosé wines in the appellations Arbois and Côtes de Jura, as well as the fortified wines Macvin du Jura and Crémant du Jura. The more praised Merenzao wine producers are: Jacques Puffeney and Domaine André et Mirelle Tissot at Arbois; Domaine Ganevat and Pignier at Côtes de Jura.
In Galicia, despite being one of the main authorised varieties to produce red wine at the appellations Ribeira Sacra and Valdeorras, together with Mencía, only 12 hectares of this vineyard can be found. Algueira and A Tapada wineries produce excellent Merenzao wines, as well as Quinta da Muradella, labelling its wine with the variety name of Bastardo (synonymous for Merenzao)
Also named Maturana Tinta, it has been authorised officially at La Rioja, but the plots actually planted are very limited; Viña Ijalba and Conde de Valdemar produce intense, fruity and with vivid acidity wine with this variety, aged in oak barrels.
