The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Highly acclaimed oenologist Jorge Navascués, with experience at Viña Zorzal and the prestigious Bodega Contino, brings exceptional expertise and skill that have earned him recognition far beyond Spain’s borders. For over a decade, he has been transforming Mas de Mancuso, located south of Zaragoza, by revitalizing Aragón’s native grape varieties and elevating the region to new heights. Today, he is one of the most respected winemakers in the area.
Wine Made from Macabeo, the 2022 White Cutio Macabeo-Cariñena is a charming, pure, and expressive wine. The influence of its schist terroir is evident in its notes of warm stone, herbal infusions, and white flowers. On the palate, it is finely chiseled, fresh, and refreshing, yet remains smooth and full-bodied, with a long, elegant finish. This is a complex and nuanced white, perfect with grilled fish, paella, or seafood.
Vinification Hand harvested, cold fermentation in stainless steel vats for 7 days. Aged on fine lees in concrete vats for 10 months.
