Macabeo and Chardonnay combine to create a refreshing and vibrant wine. This wine comes from the Campo de Borja region of Spain, an area known for its excellent wine production. The Macabeo grape, also known as Viura, is an indigenous Spanish grape variety known for its freshness and fruity character. It adds vibrant citrus aromas and lively acidity to the wine. Chardonnay, an internationally renowned grape variety, adds complexity and richness with its buttery texture and notes of tropical fruit and vanilla.
The grapes are carefully selected, and the maceration of the grape skins begins in the winery. After maceration, the grapes are pressed gently using a pneumatic press, which applies a controlled amount of pressure to extract the juice without releasing excessive tannins or bitterness. This gentle pressing helps preserve the grapes' delicate fruity aromas. The pressed juice then undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation, after which the wine is left to rest for several months.
The interplay of these two grape varieties in Vina Ainzon Macabeo Chardonnay results in a wine with a bright yellow color and an enticing aroma. Upon tasting, flavors of juicy peaches, ripe pineapple, and refreshing citrus unfold, beautifully balanced by a subtle hint of vanilla and a touch of toasted wood. The medium-bodied wine has lively acidity, giving it a refreshing and elegant finish. Vina Ainzon Macabeo Chardonnay is a versatile wine, perfect as an aperitif or with light dishes such as salads, seafood, and poultry.
