Campo de Borja, Spain – 100% Macabeo
Pale lemon in the glass, this Macabeo opens with lifted white flowers, lemongrass and jasmine, layered with poached pear, ripe nectarine and a whisper of tropical fruit. On the palate it's expressive and deep with a touch of grip, full-bodied yet fresh, finishing creamy and long.
Pour this alongside sushi or other Asian-inspired dishes, where its aromatic lift and phenolic texture really shine. It's equally at home with pan-seared fish, soft-ripened cheeses, or simply on its own as a thoughtful aperitif when you want something with a bit more character than the usual crisp white.
Grown on a single, biodynamically farmed vineyard high in the mountains of Campo de Borja, the Macabeo here is hand-harvested and vinified three separate ways — in stainless steel, in French oak puncheon, and on its skins — then blended back together to create a white with real depth. It's a wine that captures both the altitude and the philosophy behind Vinos del Viento's "vine hunter" approach to farming.
