L'Oca - Macabeu 2023

Among the estate's top white wines, we were particularly impressed by the 2023 vintage of Oca , a pure Macabeu grape grown on schist soils. This is a straightforward, flavorful wine offering aromas of yellow fruit and anise, while maintaining remarkable freshness. For lovers of great white wines, this cuvée is available in magnum and will age for approximately ten years.
