Tasting Notes

This wine is pale yellow in colour with youthful highlights. On the nose, there are fragrant fresh aromas of apple, pear and quince. On the palate, it is soft and fruity with a lifted citrus twist to the finish.

Producer details

The Castaño family owns over 410 hectares of vineyards in the Yecla DO in south-eastern Spain. 80% of these vineyards are planted with the native Monastrell variety. For several generations, Bodegas Castaño has been a pioneer in this region and has come to symbolise the best of what southern Spain has to offer: rich, warm climate wines made from grapes grown at altitude, resulting in wines of great character and finesse.

In the vineyard

The Macabeo grows on 15-year-old, organically farmed vines, which grow at 500 metres above sea level on north-facing slopes. The soil is sandy-limestone and the vines grow at a density of 2,777 vines per hectare.

In the winery

Fermentation took place at 15ºC in stainless steel tanks over a period of 14-15 days, in order to preserve the bright fresh fruit character of the wine. After cool stabilisation, the wine was ready for bottling.
