Frontonio Microcosmico Macabeo 2022

Bodegas Frontonio Microcosmico Macabeo 2022 is a medium-bodied white wine from the Aragón region of Spain. Frontonio is the personal project of Spanish Master of Wine Fernando Mora. With the Microcosmico cuvée, Mora wishes to showcase the potential of the often-overlooked Macabeo grape variety (also known as Viura in Rioja). The grapes for this wine come from a 70-year-old dryfarmed vineyard on limestone, clay and stony alluvial soils at 530m above sea level. After short skin maceration, the wine was matured in underground concrete tanks. "Varietal, serious and austere, with notes of waxy apples and hay, not too showy or perfumed, with restraint, white fruit, 13% alcohol, very good freshness (pH 3.19), clean and integrated acidity and a salty twist in the finish."
