Frontonio 2021 El Casetero Macabeo (Valdejalon) ORGANIC
We have become just crazy for the Macabeo grape, valuing its limey twang and remarkable structure. Frontonio predictably ace this “entry level” version, offering a worthy counterpart both to their Valdejalón version below and Viña Ijalba’s lovely Génoli rendition from Rioja. You can’t have too much Macabeo!
