General Information
Bodegas Castaño has achieved that the wine region of Yecla has reached a great level of quality and reputation. And this has been accomplished with wines like Castaño Macabeo Chardonnay 2023, a white wine made with a meticulous selection of macabeo and chardonnay grapes from their own vineyards located in Murcia. With separate vinification, the production process of this white wine stood out for the chardonnay resting in French oak barrels for two months, which gave the wine intense and pleasant notes of white and tropical fruits and an excellent balance.
In 1950, Ramón Castaño Santa founded a family winery that would break all stereotypes and become, decades later, a benchmark in the Mediterranean wine sector and a leader in the Denomination of Origin Yecla. Today, Bodegas Castaño has a heritage of 600 hectares of vineyards and 90% of its wines are marketed internationally.
Under the D.O. Yecla, Castaño Macabeo Chardonnay 2023 is a smooth and balanced white wine ideal for pairing with seafood, smoked fish, and grilled white meats. It also pairs well with salads of fresh goat cheese, tomato, and basil.
Creators' opinion
Castaño Macabeo Chardonnay is a pale straw-colored wine, bright and clean. Great aromatic intensity and complexity. Tropical notes (pineapple and coconut) and smoky hints stand out. On the palate, it is smooth, fresh, juicy, equally complex, long, and very well balanced. Vibrant and pleasant acidity.
