Pale gold in colour, it opens with lifted aromas of peach, apricot, candied citrus peel, and wild mountain flowers – classic traits of Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with generous flavours of white peach, quince, and subtle, seamlessly integrated oak. The finish is long, mineral, and gently saline, giving the wine real poise and freshness. A distinctive, high-altitude style that showcases the purity and character of Calatayud’s rugged landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoast chicken with herbs and charred lemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeafood paella or garlic prawns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrilled vegetables with manchego\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Norrel Robertson has this brilliant way of turning tough, mountain vineyards into something genuinely special.
