A bright, pale lemon colour in the glass. On the nose, green apple, pear, melon and mango skin notes balanced with delicate white floral notes. The palate is fresh and offers brilliant balance, with juicy stone fruit tempered by crisp acidity.

The fruit for this Macabeo is sourced from 20-year-old, organically farmed vineyards. The vines are planted at 500 metres above sea level on north-facing slopes. Both altitude and northerly aspect provide a cooling influence to temper the region's warm climate and promote fresh aromatics and crisp acidity. The soil is sandy-limestone and the vines grow at a density of 2,777 vines per hectare.

Fermentation took place at 15ºC in stainless steel tanks over a period of 14-15 days, in order to preserve the variety's crisp fruit aromatics. After cool stabilisation, the wine was ready for bottling.

Familia Castaño embodies the best of what southern Spain has to offer, producing rich, warm-climate wines, with almost Syrah-like complexity, which overdeliver in terms of value year after year.
