Quedarse 2018 Macabeo Spain

Description

One of our favorite experiences is tasting new grapes and finding a whole new varietal that we are excited to explore, which is why we are so excited to share this beautiful Macabeo with all of our Firstleaf club members. It was originally introduced to Rioja in the late 1800s and has been incredibly fruitful. With notes of apricot, lemon, and pineapple playing off of orange blossom and a hint of basil, it’s a great wine for pairing with lighter dishes. We’ve been loving it with fresh salads, ceviche, and ripe peaches. Judges love it too! It took home 94 points and a Platinum medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge and a Silver medal from the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.
