Aranleon 2018 Macabeo (Utiel Requena)
Our love affair with Macabeo continues with this latest entrant to the field. Unirrigated vines aged 50 years and older planted at an altitude of 2300 feet give rise to this taut and deeply coiled wine, which entirely belies its burgundian vinification. A brilliant addition to our range of top Spanish whites.
