Robert Parker

A typical Catalan blend of Grenache and Xarello, Macizo reveals aromas of fennel and white fruits, complemented by a spicy touch from the aging process. The palate is refined and mineral, with a complex and flavorful structure.

About wine:

To be honest, the Macizo 2013 is very similar to the Massis 2013, and it is also a blend of Xarello and Grenache Blanc. There are slightly more spicy-oaky aromas and a little more volume on the palate. There is oak, but not in an exaggerated way. This wine will age better.
