About This Wine

Macabeo

It’s time to dust off the passport because your palate is bound for a European adventure. Macabeo is a well-known grape in Spain but is still somewhat unknown to the rest of the world. This versatile grape is included in some of the most popular wines in its native country, where it is grown in vineyards across the Iberian Peninsula and even goes by several different names. The style of wine this local grape creates varies depending on the climate and winemaking practices of the region where it grows. Our International Press Macabeo is an approachable yet exciting introduction to this foreign varietal. Crafted from the concentrated fruit of old vines, this wine is intriguing and charming with citrus peel and dairy aromas. Flavors of luscious tree fruit on the palate contribute to a sweet finish, making this bottle engaging enough to be enjoyed on its own or alongside traditional Spanish cuisine.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
