Grape varieties 100% Maccabeus

Preparation: Hand-harvested Macabeu grapes from old vines located in the municipality of Ginestar, in the Ribera d'Ebre region. The plot, influenced by its proximity to the Ebro River, features predominantly calcareous, well-drained soils that promote balanced ripening and good aromatic expression. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by dry summers, high insolation, and a notable diurnal temperature range, allows the grapes to retain their natural acidity and enhances their aromatic intensity.
The grapes are selected at their optimal ripeness to maintain freshness and structure. Gently pressed to obtain the flower must. Alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Before the fermentation is fully complete, the wine is bottled with its natural residual sugars. Fermentation finishes in the bottle using the ancestral method, naturally producing carbonation. Once fermentation is complete, the wine rests on its fine lees for approximately three months, adding greater complexity and carbonation integration. Subsequently, the wine is racked to remove the spent yeast. Alcohol content: 10.50% vol.

Tasting notes: This sparkling wine faithfully expresses the typical characteristics of the Macabeo grape from Ribera d’Ebre. It presents aromas of white fruit such as apple and pear, fresh citrus notes, and a delicate floral hint, with a subtle touch of fresh bread from contact with the lees. On the palate, it is lively and balanced, with a distinct and natural acidity characteristic of Macabeo grown in this region, fine and well-integrated carbonation, and a dry, fresh finish. It reflects the character and identity of the Ginestar terroir.
