CARTOIXÀ - MACABEU
El 1r de 9+ Base
Our fresh and fruity white charmer. A Mediterranean wine expressing the essence of our local varieties Cartoixà and Macabeu. A clear-cut wine made to enjoy every day. From old organic vineyards with low fertility soils mainly consisting of sandy loam. Growing influenced by the Marinada, the sea breeze that protects the grapes from excess heat and allows a constant ripening throughout summer. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and pressed. After a 24-hour rest, the clear must is separated and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 18-20 days at around 15-17ºC. The 9-month ageing of our 85% Cartoixà 15% Macabeo blend is accompanied by a weekly lees stirring to smoothen the texture and increase the body of the wine.
We find varietal aromas of stone fruit and tropical fruit, sweet nuances of quince and honey. The palate is wide and structured, yet fresh with a nerve of citrus. The aftertaste is long with a pleasant presence of ripe fruit. A wine to enjoy on its own or paired with salads, fish, and vegetables. Serve chilled.
With no added sulphites, clarifiers, stabilizers or preservatives, just grapes in their purest expression, as natural as can be.
