11 Pinos Orange Macabeo 2025

DO Manchuela, Spain

Macabeo (100%) · 2025 · 11.5% abv

Amber-orange with aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, and blossom. The palate is layered and textural — stone fruit and citrus peel mingle with gentle spice, subtle tannic grip, and refreshing acidity and a savoury herbal edge on the finish.

Production

Hand-harvested grapes are cold-soaked at 5 °C before fermenting with skins in stainless steel using native yeast. One month’s post-fermentation maceration deepens texture, followed by two months on lees in concrete for finesse and freshness.

Vinyard

The wine is from 70 year old Macabeo vines in the 11 Pinos plot at 800m altitude. Clay-limestone soils and a continental climate with hot days and cool nights build aromatic complexity, while low yields ensure concentration and structure.

Pairing

Superb with roasted squash and tahini, saffron-spiced chickpeas, or grilled quail. Also pairs beautifully with Middle Eastern mezze and aged goat cheese.
