La Macabev
Horta de Sant Joan
THE VINEYARD
El Vilà is a plot located in Horta de Sant Joan, planted with Macabeu grapes in 1996. It is certified organic and managed with regenerative agricultural practices. It covers an area of 1.2 hectares with predominantly limestone soil.
LA MACABEV 2021
Macabeu single varietal white wine. The grapes are hand-harvested with double selection, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The grapes are destemmed, and a skin maceration takes place for 48 hours to extract the terpenes and aromatic compounds from the skins. Subsequently, they are pressed using a pneumatic press, carefully controlling oxidation throughout the process. The must then ferments for about 20 days in stainless steel tanks. Its subsequent aging on fine lees gives the wine a creamy and rich aspect. The wine is bottled in the spring of 2022, after a gentle filtration.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw yellow color with greenish hues. Clean, bright, and crystal-clear. On the nose, it reveals itself as subtle, delicate, aromatic, and persistent, showcasing a fresh and long character. White flower notes and mineral undertones come together on the palate, resulting in a sensation of creaminess. Later, stone fruit aromas emerge. It envelops the palate with a silky and rich texture, stimulating the senses. It is a fresh wine that is simultaneously intense and persistent.
Recommended serving temperature: 7-10ºC.
