TASTING NOTES:
Red Apple
Vanilla
Orange
Layered with intriguing aromas, flavors, and textures, you will encounter sweet scents of vanilla and red apples on the nose. The palate offers orange flavors and a creaminess that is counteracted by stimulating mineral qualities. This Macabeo would pair well with oysters, shrimp, or traditional Spanish paella.
