Valdejalón Macabeo Microcósmico

VARIETALS
100% Macabeo

NOTES
FARMING: Organic

SOIL: Chalk

VINEYARD: Bodegas Frontonio also has exceptional hillside vineyards with soils that are mainly of grey chalk which they use to explore a very different side of garnacha and macabeo grapes. Valdejalón has a Mediterranean-influenced continental climate, with high temperatures in summer and medium to low temperatures in winter, scanty rainfall, and very continuous pattern of winds that are channeled by the Ebro Depression to blow either from the north-west (the Cierzo wind) or from the south-east (the Bochorno wind). It is very extreme, due to its wide temperature changes over short periods.

VINIFICATION: Fermentation in concrete vats
