The 2022 Microcósmico Macabeo wants to show the potential of the white grape (also known as Viura, the main white variety in Rioja) through the fruit from 70-year-old dry-farmed vines on deep limestone, clay and stony alluvial soils at 530 meters above sea level. They did a 20-hour skin contact, the juice fermented with indigenous yeasts in concrete, and the wine matured in underground concrete tanks with the fine lees and bâtonnage. It's varietal, serious and austere, with notes of waxy apples and hay, not too showy or perfumed, with restraint, white fruit, 13% alcohol, very good freshness (pH 3.19), clean and integrated acidity and a salty twist in the finish. 22,460 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2023. ... More details

Country: Spain

From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.
