Montesanco MÓN Macabeo 2925 (750ml)

New vintage of our white wine from the Montesanco winery, built in 1882 under the name of "Casa de la Viña". We have made this MÓN wine from a small plot of 5 hectares of Macabeo vines over 50 years old at an altitude of 731 meters.

VINTAGE 2025
With a favorable winter and a spring with water, this vintage was characterized by
excessive heat in the summer months, causing a complicated ripening of the
grapes and a decrease in production, but resulting in a raw material of excellent
quality.

REGION
D.O.P Utiel-Requena

VITICULTURE

100% Macabeo from non-irrigated trellised vines in Casa de la Viña, on a chalky
soil and a yield of approximately 3kg per vine.

Biodynamic viticulture. Grapes were harvested by hand from 6 a.m.
on September 13. Ten days earlier, the vines were partially defoliated to increase
the concentration of sugars.

WINEWMAKING
After a second selection of the grapes in the winery, the bunches were
destemmed and introduced by gravity into a tank where carbonic snow was
added and remained in contact with the skins for 24 hours at a very low
temperature.

Once the must was cleaned, it was partially racked into new 500-liter French oak
barrels. After fermentation, the wine is racked together with its fine lees to a tank
where the "bâtonnage" takes place every 3 days. This wine was bottled in
December 2021.

TASTING NOTES
• Color: pale yellow.
• Nose: predominance of fresh varietal aromas with citrus and lactic notes and
white flowers.
• Palate: balanced acidity and unctuous sensations due to aging on lees. Very
expressive with citrus aromas, exotic fruit and final notes of honey.

ANALYSIS
• Alcoholic strength: 13.5% Vol.
