White Wine Mary Taylor Finca El Molar 2023 Macabeo

Finca El Molar is in the wine-making region of Manchuela, and currently a free-standing DO since 2004; previously an IGT in the Castilla-La-Mancha region. This high-altitude region is situated between two rivers and boasts a very sunny and dry climate while the Solano wind refreshes the night during ripeness. Finding the right distribution between alcohol and polyphenols is a balancing act. Pre-fermentation cold maceration for 4 days to extract varietal aromas followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and post-fermentation maceration with the skins for 7 days. After racking, maturation requires contact with fine lees for 5 months. Rus prides herself on her passion for minimal intervention methods while keeping sulfur to a minimum. All Finca El Molar wines are certified organic.
