MACABEO<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The elegance of the purest gold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first mention of the Macabeo variety is taken from a text by Llu\u00eds Pon\u00e7 d\u2019Icard from 1564, but likely this grape variety arrived with the Phoenician traders about 3000 years ago. Macabeo and white Grenache are the most common white grape varieties in the Tarragona zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIURANA BRISAT AND TROS DE LA SERRA – ORANGE WINES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Orange wines made with long incubation with the grape skins have been made for thousands of years, going back to the origins of winemaking in the Georgia region around 8000 years ago. Our grandparents use to make white wine this way, probably by the heritage of the Phoenician traders and winemakers in the Tarraco Roman Empire period. We make this wine by letting the skins to marinate with the grapes most at low temperature over several weeks. After a period in its lees, the wine goes to barrels for 12 months to obtain the right equilibrium and the balance in aromas and savors. Wine with good ability to age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
