The Bodegas Frontonio Microcosmico Macabeo appears a pale green color in the glass, with aromas of jasmine, grapefruit and mineral notes. It is a well-structured wine, with a lively texture and fresh, elegant acidity. Intensely complex and silky.
100% old-vine Macabeo from 65+ year-old organically farmed vines in the IGP Valdejalon. Fermented in cement tank with indigenous yeast. Aged in cement tank on the lees, no battonage for 5-6 months.
We work with sustainably cultivated, dry-farmed bush vines in traditional mountain vineyards. Our wines are crafted in small quantities and aged in historic caves. Saint Frontonio, a martyr whose decapitated head was found going upriver, symbolises our spirit of swimming against the tide.
Wine Advocate Review:
The 2023 Microcósmico Macabeo comes from old vines on limestone soils, showing the character of the grape, with austerity, clout and power. It has more structure, not necessarily weight, and a very tasty finish with a bitter twist. It has a moderate 12.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.21 and 5.89 grams of acidity. 20,199 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2024 after seven months in concrete. Anticipated Maturtity: 2024-2029
