Sanmartí Atles Macabeu

This deep and unctuous white wine from very old estate vineyards is a tribute to the aromatic texture and personality of the Macabeu variety.

Aged for six months in oak barrels, its great structure gives us complexity and volume in the mouth, delivering an intense flavor and a vibrant aftertaste. 

Silky and full-bodied, Sanmartí Atles Macabeu is the best example of what a truly aged white wine should taste like.
