The harvest of the white wine Macabeo

The Macabeo grapes get everything they need: plenty of sunshine and warmth, but also plenty of coolness. This coolness comes from the wind, which always cools the bunches. The falling nighttime temperature provides plenty of rest and refreshment for the bunches. This allows the Macabeo grapes to retain their freshness, which is evident in the flavor of this white wine. When the harvest is ripe, they are harvested at night to prevent oxidation and bruising during transport. Upon arrival at Sierra Salinas, the grapes are thoroughly inspected, and only the finest are used in this beautiful white wine.
