Amber, textured Macabeu from three terraced parcels in Catalunya — 15 days on skins, then 8 months ageing under a veil of flor. Golden, complex, and quietly unlike most orange wines you’ll try.
Macabeu • Catalunya • Skin contact • Flor ageing
Josep at Pinyolet Vinyaters tends half a hectare of 20-year-old bush-trained Macabeu across three east-facing limestone terraces at 150 metres. Lluna i Mitja is hand-harvested, macerated on the skins for 15 days, then left to age for 8 months under a natural veil of flor — a layer of wild yeast that forms on the surface of the wine, protecting it from oxygen while adding a subtle nutty, saline depth. The same technique used in Jerez for Fino and Manzanilla, here applied to Catalan Macabeu on the free-run juice with no fining, no filtration, no additions.
The result sits somewhere between an orange wine and something far older and stranger.
