Mas de la Pansa 'Macabeu'

The grape carrier is the image of the Macabeu. With this image, we aim to capture the stories and adventures that our grandfather has always shared with us. It is a key element in all the memories of past harvests.

The Macabeu fruit for this cuvée is sourced from vines that were planted in 1960, on pebbly clay soils. This family vineyard is certified organic, and is farmed with minimal intervention. The Macabeu is harvested by hand, sorted, and crushed. The fruit macerates and ferments for 15 days in stainless steel tanks, and is racked without pressing to finish fermenting without the presence of the skins. The wine rests in tanks on its fine lees before bottling in April.

Macabeu [ma-kah-BAYoo] is the Catalan spelling for Macabeo, which is also known as Viura in Rioja.
