White Wine Albet i Noya 3 Macabeus 2019
Availability: In stock
Produced by the Albet i Noya winery, 3 Macabeus is an organic Spanish white wine produced in Penedès.
A single varietal Macabeo, it is made from grapevines around 60 years of age planted in clayey-limestone, magnesium-rich soils scattered across three different plots: El Pou de la Pedra, La Casilla and Les Tuies.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were selected in the vineyard. Once in the cellar, they were cold-soaked and separately vinified.
Then this organic white wine from Penedès was fermented in stainless steel tanks, after which it was cold-stabilized and gently filtered.
Finally, Albet i Noya 3 Macabeus 2019 was bottled with a screw cap.
Appearance | The white wine Albet i Noya 3 Macabeus has a bright, clean, pale yellow colour. |
---|---|
Nose | Juicy notes of white fruit, combined with subtle notes of balsam, white flowers and aniseed. As this Macabeo white wine opens, the aromas of citrus and dry fruit gain prominence. |
Palate | Fresh and savoury, this 3 Macabeus by Albet i Noya is linear and very pure. White fruit, some flowery notions, remembrances of almonds and hazelnuts, and dim undertones of fennel and dry earth. This organic white wine has a very good acidity and a medium, lively finish with remembrances of citrus. |
Our personal opinion | An excellent value, Albet i Noya 3 Macabeus 2019 pairs excellently with rice, pasta, appetizers and fish dishes. |
