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.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does Sierra Salinas Macabeo taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIt's a vibrant white wine whose aromas are already noticeable upon opening the bottle.

While aging in the barrel gives the wines great finesse and elegance.\n\n\n\n The nose reveals aromas of ripe plums, licorice, and notes of coconut and vanilla.

He travels throughout Spain in search of the finest vineyards to create innovative wines. In some cases, he deliberately seeks out old and sometimes forgotten vineyards. In these locations, he discovers lesser-known grape varieties. By partnering with local winemakers, he aims to elevate the quality of wines in these regions. While the knowledge lies with the local winemakers, the skill rests with Telmo himself.
