Curiosity often leads us in unexpected directions, particularly in the lesser trodden region of Manchuela where this little gem hails from.
This cracking value, small batch, un-filtered old vine Macabeo is grown at over 700m above sea level, the diurnal temperature variation is marked and results in grapes with vibrant freshness and vivid flavour, whilst the continental climate brings cold winters, hot summers, and uniquely expressive fruit which is harnessed in all its unfiltered glory!
Expect bags of personality, lifted, orange blossom and tropical fruit aromas, followed by ripe citrus acidity and textural quality to the palate. A joyful, clean, crisp and easy drinking white.

The Producer:
The Entero projects mission is to create an awesome un-filtered old vine Macabeo with a sense of place and unique personality. At over 700m above sea level, diurnal temperature variation is marked and results in grapes with vibrant freshness and vivid flavour, whilst the continental climate brings cold winters, hot summers, and uniquely expressive fruit which we’ve harnessed in all its unfiltered glory!
Marked diurnal temperature variation due to the altitude (700m above sea level) produces pristine and healthy grapes, with a high concentration of fruit flavours and marked freshness. Organic cultivation is easy in this privileged region, where nigh-time breezes moderate the temperature and where rainfall is rare between May and September, almost eliminating the risk of disease.
Healthy grapes come into the winery and are fermented in tank with minimal manipulation, before being bottled without filtration, harnessing an unparalleled connection to their provenance.
