100% Macabeo
Lo Brujo Macabeo is a 100% Macabeo that is grown on 30 year old bush vines high in the mountains of Calatayud and is made in the typical Spanish style of white wines with no barrel aging. About 130,000 bottles are made each year, coming from approximately 60 hectares of vines. The juice sees skin contact for 10-12 hours before it begins its 25-30 day, low-temperature fermentation. After an extra month in tank, the wine is lightly filtered, fined with only bentonite, and then bottled for release in the spring. It is crisp and playful, with emerging flavors of tropical fruit and citrus making it fresh and well-balanced, refreshing and vivacious, and an unbelievable value that can be enjoyed on its own, or to paired with a wide range of cuisine.
