JORGE NAVASCUES
A fresh, gastronomic macabeo with lemon peel, pomelo and apple skin. Textured and quite bone dry, with a medium body, medium acidity and a fresh, pithy finish. Drink now. ZEKUN SHUAI, JamesSuckling.com
The 2022 Cutio Macabeo has more ripeness from the warm year, but the acidity and freshness were surprisingly high. This year, the white was completely unoaked. It was produced with grapes from Almonacid and matured in concrete with lees that were not stirred until bottling, for some 20 months. It has 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.2 and 6.4 grams of acidity. It's clean and precise with very good freshness, coming through as balanced and tasty, elegant and with a sapid, almost salty finish, with no room for sweetness at all. 12,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2024. LUIS GUTIERREZ, The Wine Advocate
Navascues is a family of winemakers in Aragón, Spain, led by Jorge Navascués and his father, Jesús Navascués. They are renowned for working with the Garnacha grape in the Cariñena region in particular but are leading a revolution reviving incredible old vineyards and nearly lost sites in Aragon. Blending traditional winemaking with modern techniques they produce highly-regarded wines. Jorge is a respected winemaker who also heads projects like his personal wine projects and is the head winemaker at Contino. The Navascués family has a long history of winemaking in Aragón with Jorgea third-generation winemaker and a leading figure in Spanish oenology. This is the newest project from them and we like what we see.
