"Attractively packaged with the promise of further ageability and a fruitiness that reminds me of that childhood treat called rhubarb rock. Tingly finish. I suspect this will gain interest in bottle. Drink 2020-2022. 15.5/20", Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 25th October 2020
"This Macabeo tastes of peach, greengage and Asian pear, with an edge of salt", Victoria Moore, The Daily Telegraph, 6th June 2020
Macabeo (Macabeu in the Languedoc-Roussillon) is the same grape as Viura, the principal ingredient in most white Rioja. Here it’s picked early in September for freshness. We were knocked out by this example, from its open, stone-fruited scent to its excitingly ripe and weighty mid-palate of white peach and fresh grapes, all the way to a dry, savoury and stoney finish. Terrific at the price, and a cool label too. Now-2021
