About This Wine


Merce Carme

Macabeo

Our Spanish winemaking partners at Merce Carme have crafted a pleasantly textural wine that will inspire you to break out your cookbooks in search of traditional Spanish cuisine. This food-friendly creation is made from the grape variety Macabeo. This variety is popular in several countries where it generally goes by different names. In Spain, it is best known for its role in the blended sparkling wine Cava and sometimes heavily oaked whites of the Rioja region (where it is known as Viura). Merce Carme has created a refreshing, fruit-forward take on this versatile grape. This wine is light and acidic, with a delicious essence of each fruit flavor. These grapes come from a warm Mediterranean climate where light oceanic influence moderated temperatures and preserved the fruit's vivacious acidity. Stainless steel fermentation at cool temperatures maintained varietal flavors and an enticing texture. This wine offers a diverse array of aromas and flavors and is overall a beautiful expression of this worldly grape. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Spain

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.
