Macabeo
Filter
Macabeo is a white wine variety grape that is created and often blended with white wines and various types of French and Spanish red wines. Macabeo is able to be blended into sparkling and rose wines, but it may be difficult to cultivate the variety. The grape is mostly used to create acidic and young white wines that are consumed typically early. Macabeo is the main grape variety used in white Rioja wines and is sometimes mixed with Tempranillo wine and red Garnacha wine. Because Macabeo needs to be picked early in order to maintain moderate acid levels, harvesting the grapes early can also affect the taste of the wine. Thus, growers decide if the wines will either be dry wines, or sweet wines with honey or floral tones--harvesting them later in the year. The grapes are typically grown in Spain, France, and warm regions in North Africa. Macabeo grapes were introduced in France from Spain, but it is unknown how the variety made it to Spain. In Catalonia, the Macabeo variety is used with Parellada and the Xarel-lo variety to create Cava, which is Spain's most popular sparkling wines. Macabeo wine pairs well with grilled shrimp, a lovely tart green mango salad, or California rolls.

Review:
"Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of brown butter poached pear, marzipan, lemon and apple, and floating in the pool with the grill going with a round, crisp, finely carbonated, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish manifesting notes of dried apples, apricot jam, blanched almonds, and jasmine rice with no oak flavor. Layers of flavor from fruit to earth dance on the tongue for a classic expression of sparkling wine from Catalonia."

The Peumo Vineyard is located 170 m above sea level and extended along the Cachapoal River, on terraces of hills of the Coastal Mountains. The vines come from pre-phylloxera cuttings and are trellised to vertical shoot position and cordon pruned. The soils are deep with an upper layer of clay that retains moisture, which controls the vines’ vigor and growth and allows them to remain active through late May, when the Carmenere is picked.
Deep, dark red with hints of violet. Elegant and mineral on the nose, with notes of blackberry and a touch of blackcurrant. It fills the palate with underlying mature tannins. Deep, concentrated, with a long aftertaste and distinctive hints of the Peumo terroir. This 2018 vintage is characterized by its elegance and freshness; it is a wine with a lot of Carmenere character. Pairs best with elegant but simply prepared dishes such as juicy, rare roast beef, veal, pork tenderloin with roasted beets and cranberries, duck (con t or magret). Also delightful with squash-stuffed pasta with morel mushrooms or aged goat cheese with figs.
Review:
Carmín made its debut with the 2003 vintage, and since then it has come from a selection from Block 32, a sector of the vineyard in Peumo, on the banks of the Rapel River. Of its 28 hectares, seven are actually used and usually produce about 18,000 liters. The vineyards were planted in 1983 on stony clay soils on the hills that flank the Cachapoal River on its way to Lake Rapel. This was a cool year, and that's evident in the herbal notes and red fruits that fill the nose. The palate is generous in ripe red fruits, as well as in the herbal tones that refresh and add complexity at the same time. The texture is friendly, although it leaves room for a layer of very fine, sharp tannins that contribute tension, while the fruits and herbs continue their private party. We think this is the best version of Carmín that we have tried—far from the first Carmíns, which were tremendously ripe and extracted and far from this balance and elegance. Carmenere at the highest level.

It means with head, it is Galician word that means a way to do the things with calm and think every step to succeed. It was a word that the founder of the winery, Manolo Arnoya, always used (“do things with Sentidiño "). The label represents a seafaring boat associated with the fisherman who bravely goes out to work on the sea and has to work with “Sentidiño” to return home safely.
Refined, soft, fresh and intense wine. It presents a powerful aroma of stone fruits, such as peach and sweet pear and it presents a freshness so characteristic of lemon. It is a pleasure for the palate!
