Winemaking

Manual grape harvest during the last days of August. The grapes have undergone a cold maceration before being pressed in an inert gas atmosphere, followed by a slow fermentation at low temperatures. This wine has not undergone any aging process to maintain the freshness of the variety.

Tasting note

Pale yellow color. On the nose, it is a very fragrant wine with notes of green figs and asparagus, ripe pear, citrus, and spring flowers. On the palate, it is refreshing due to its high acidity and fruitiness. Flavors of figs and boxwood are also present.

Food pairing

Ideal for spring salads with refreshing vinaigrettes. It is also perfect for pairing with all kinds of rice dishes, whether they are from the sea or the mountains.

Characteristics

3Macabeus is a wine from three old vineyards (planted in the 1950s) of the Macabeo variety located at the entrance of the Can Milà de la Roca estate. These are very special vineyards that provide us with unique grapes to create a still wine with high aromatic and gustatory complexity. Old vines in goblet shape, with deep roots capable of reflecting the characteristic minerality of the Ordal Mountains subzone.

The vineyards

Right at the entrance to the Can Milà de la Roca estate, very close to the village of Lavern-Subirats, lie three Macabeu vineyards planted between 1959 and 1972. These are old, bush-vines, deeply rooted in clay-limestone soils, which have adapted to the harsh yet beautiful climate of the Ordal Mountains.

These vineyards convey the unique character of their surroundings: a landscape defined by biodiversity, surface bedrock outcrops, and the mineral-rich subsoil. From these plots comes a still wine of remarkable aromatic and flavour complexity — the result of grapes that embody history, balance, and depth.
