Wine Identity

A skin-contact Macabeo, expressive and profound, reviving the tradition of Manchuela’s brisado wines, with texture and strong personality.

Tasting Notes

Winemaking

Light pre-fermentation cold maceration followed by temperature-controlled fermentation on the skins, and a subsequent post-fermentation maceration. The wine is then racked and aged for several months before bottling.

The Variety

A grape with medium-sized, compact bunches, late ripening and moderate acidity, capable of providing structure and complexity when vinified with skin contact.

Did You Know…?

White wines macerated and fermented with their skins are now commonly known as orange wines (or skin-contact wines). This style has deep historical roots and was traditionally known as vino brisado.
