D3 Calatayud Macabeu
DO Calatayud
Spectacular limestone slopes and gray slate with vines on a land reminiscent of the best areas in Priorat and Bierzo, at an altitude that varies between 900 and 1,000 meters. All this, provides Óscar Martínez and Carlos Sáenz as well as Marià Bigordà, father and son, with the values to produce one-of-a kind wines for their characteristics and unique for their distinct personality.
