Scot Norrel Robertson MW consults and makes wine all over the world, but owns high-altitude vineyards in the rugged hills of Calatayud, where he chooses to make wines outside the DO regulations. This amber-coloured skin contact wine is made from old vine Macabeo (90%) and Garnacha Blanca (10%) grown at 800m on the Carramainas plot. First made in 2017 due to severe frost in the region, this second vintage sees nine months of skin contact and five months in 500-litre barrels, producing an intense and textured wine with fine tannins. Aromas of quince, nuts and preserved lemon are followed by clean herbal citrus notes and a salty minerality, with crisp acid. A great food wine.
