Organic Macabeo 2024, Familia Castaño, Yecla, Spain

Description Organic Macabeo 2024, Familia Castaño, Yecla, Murcia, Spain Winemaker / Producer: Bodegas Castaño has been a pioneer in the region of Yecla and has come to symbolise the best of what southern Spain has to offer: rich, warm-climate wines made from grapes grown at altitude, resulting in wines of great character and finesse. Vineyard & Winemaking: The fruit for this Macabeo is sourced from 25-year-old, organically farmed vineyards planted at 500 metres above sea level on north-facing slopes. Both altitude and aspect provide a cooling influence, tempering the region’s warm climate and promoting fresh aromatics and crisp acidity. The soils are sandy limestone and the vines are planted at a density of 2,777 vines per hectare. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at 15°C over 14–15 days to preserve the variety’s fruit aromatics. Tasting Notes: Bright and pale lemon in the glass. The nose offers green apple, pear, melon and mango skin, balanced by delicate white floral notes. The palate is fresh with brilliant balance — juicy stone fruit tempered by crisp acidity. This organic white wine is bright, fragrant and utterly drinkable. Food Pairing: Perfect as an aperitif or with tapas. This Organic Macabeo Yecla also pairs beautifully with grilled prawns, fresh seafood, light salads and classic Spanish tortilla.
