Bodega Pirineos 'Orange' Macabeo 2025

The Bodega Pirineos 'Orange' Macabeo is a contemporary expression of Somontano's winemaking heritage, crafted by Bodega Pirineos using traditional skin-contact techniques. Made primarily from Macabeo with a small portion of Gewürztraminer, it delivers the complexity and texture expected of a modern orange wine while maintaining freshness and balance.

Appearance:

Brilliant deep golden to amber with copper highlights, lightly hazy, reflecting its skin-contact winemaking.

Aroma:

Expressive aromas of candied orange peel, bergamot, quince, dried mango, ripe citrus, ginger and cinnamon, complemented by delicate floral notes, orange tea and subtle savoury complexity.

Taste:

Dry, vibrant and beautifully textured. Flavours of preserved lemon, mandarin peel, quince, ripe orchard fruit and gentle spice are layered over a creamy palate with savoury phenolics and refreshing acidity. A light tannic grip provides structure while maintaining elegance and drinkability.

Finish:

Long, fresh and savoury, with lingering citrus peel, soft spice and a subtle mineral character.

Food Pairing:

A versatile partner for charcuterie, Manchego cheese, grilled octopus, roast chicken, Moroccan tagines, mushroom risotto, sushi and mildly spiced Asian cuisine.
