Details
God, this is good! Deep golden colour in the glass, this is all about those ripe notes of apples, pears and savoury spice. Throw in some white florals, quince and blood orange in the backdrop, and you have a pretty interesting, complex number here! Expect a lick of grip from partial skin contact.

Pairing guide
Vins l'Apical have really struck gold with this delightful Macabeo, highlighting the charm of this lesser-known variety in peerless style. It’s a great bottle to get creative with in the kitchen, and we found especially pleasing results matching it up with dishes that bring together exotic fruits with fish and seafood, especially mango salsa with prawns or similar combos. Zesty salads, citrus-soaked white meats and fish fillets, and Thai and Vietnamese coconut curries and slightly acidic broths also bring about winning results.
