From an old vineyard in Alpartir, Aragón, the 2022 Macabeo Jardín de las Iguales displays classic Macabeo aromas of herbs and fennel with hints of green apple and delicate oak. Layers of iodine and a faint seaweed nuance add complexity. The palate is dry and lean, with chalky textures and a muscular tension through the long, energetic finish. A subtle echo of Mediterranean scrub lingers. This serious and distinctive white is a standout among Spain’s new generation of white wines—unmistakably Aragonese in character and voice.
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Wine Advocate
The super pale and subtle white 2022 El Jardín de las Iguales Macabeo is a wine that feels a lot younger than it is, undeveloped and young. It comes from the same vineyard, a centenary plot, and with the same process as in previous years, fermented and matured in a 1,000-liter oak foudre. It has a complex nose with notes of dry yellow flowers and pollen and a round palate with texture, chalky minerality and a very long finish. It is complete and complex, just a more tender than the 2021, which was more chiseled. This is a wine that really grows in bottle. It was a success to hold it for one year before releasing it, and that's why the vintage in the market is one year older than the red. 1,305 bottles produced, a good year for quality and quantity. It was bottled in July 2024.

This opens with aromas of chamomile, white flowers, stones and a subtle hint of fennel. The palate is delineated, distinct and refined, with compact stone fruit running through its core and a saline thread that gives it energy. The finish is intense and vibrant, showing impressive length and contained ripeness that unfolds with elegance. This is the producer's top single vineyard, planted on a northeastern-facing site in the vicinity of Alpartir. Drink now or hold.
Winery Notes
• 100% Macabeo sourced from Mora’s prize holding: Las Iguales, an amphiteater planted at the turn of the 20th century at 700 meters on slate and limestone.
• Macerated for 40 hours before whole-cluster pressing and spontaneous fermentation in foudre.
• Racked to clean foudres for 12 months of elevage, then again to 500L used barrels for additional aging before bottling.
