Xarel-lo, Macabeo, Parellada
75cl * 12% ABV * Penedes, Spain
A classic Cava blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo - from 35 hectares of vines cultivated on the Can Macia estate, in the Anoia river basin near Odena. The winery has been active for 800 years and is still in the hands of the same family! Some of the family vines are over 50 years old producing concentrated old vine fruits.
Well placed investment has led to Mas Macia being renowned for high quality estate-bottled wines. Made using the traditional Cava method - the wine is matured for an extended period of 24 months before disgorgement to enhance the complex, fruity aromas.
White fruit and citrus aromas lead onto a complex palate with green apple, stone fruit and a touch of white spice. Bubbles are fine and persistent through to the long finish and gentle savoury twist. Great partner to Tapas or simply as an aperitif.
