Vintage Report

The 2022 vintage in Spain was of excellent quality, with scores up to 95 points for surrounding regions. The wines from this year are generally rich and very well structured.

The Consigna Merlot, crafted by Félix Solís, is a superb example of how the unique characteristics of Castilla-La Mancha's terroir translate into a wine of extraordinary depth and flavor. Situated at an altitude of 700 meters, the region benefits from a soil rich in limestone and clay, and a climate with minimal rainfall, which contribute to the concentration and intensity of the grapes' flavors. Félix Solís, a family winery with a rich history dating back to 1952, takes full advantage of these natural conditions, resulting in a Merlot that embodies both the tradition and innovation of Spanish viticulture.

Careful Vinification for Excellence

The vinification of Consigna Merlot reflects a meticulous commitment to quality. The grapes undergo a cold maceration of 3-4 days to extract maximum aromas and colors, followed by controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This process, which never exceeds 25ºC, lasts up to 8 days and produces an elegant, well-structured wine. The aging on lees contributes to its refinement and complexity, distinguishing Consigna Merlot as a wine meant to be consumed young, while retaining its rich and full character.

A Palette of Complex Aromas and Flavors

The Consigna Merlot presents itself in an attractive ruby red color, a visual introduction to the complexity that follows. The bouquet reveals rich aromas of plums, blackberries, and black cherries, enriched with subtle notes of licorice. These deep, fruity notes continue on the palate, where the wine reveals its sun-ripened, generous character: supple and round, with a pleasant structure. The soft tannins contribute to an elegant and well-balanced wine, with a pleasant finish that celebrates the harmony and richness of the Merlot grape.

Perfect Accompaniment to Culinary Creations

This versatile Merlot pairs beautifully with a wide variety of dishes, particularly with red meat and game, rice dishes in broth, or roast lamb. It's also surprisingly good with a simple cheddar burger, where its richness and suppleness beautifully complement the heartiness of the meat and the creaminess of the cheese. The Consigna Merlot from Félix Solís is an accessible yet impressive choice for any occasion, a true tribute to the quality and diversity of Castilla-La Mancha wines.
