🥂 Esteban Martin Chardonnay Macabeo 2022 Dry white wine is a dry Spanish white for anyone who enjoys expressive fruit and a fresh, lively palate. Its straw-yellow colour leads into floral aromas and delicate tropical notes, including mango. The blend brings Chardonnay and Macabeo together in a harmonious wine with balanced acidity and a lingering finish. Open it before dinner, with a plate of seafood or when a relaxed meal calls for an aromatic white.
🌍 It comes from the Cariñena appellation in Aragón, Spain, and is made by Bodegas Esteban Martín. The producer describes vineyards at 600–800 metres above sea level, with gravelly soils and vines aged between 20 and 65 years. These are the growing conditions behind the house’s white blend. The two grapes are named as Chardonnay and Macabeo; their proportions are not specified for this 2022 bottle.
🌿 The wine is vegan friendly, confirmed both by the winery and the bottle’s certification mark. The producer’s technical presentation describes preparation in steel tanks without oak ageing. This approach keeps the focus on fruit, flowers and freshness. The lively sensation on the palate belongs to a still white wine, with a harmonious character that works well both as an aperitif and throughout a meal.
🍽️ Serve Esteban Martin Chardonnay Macabeo 2022 Dry white wine chilled at 8–10°C. Fish, seafood, sushi and pasta salad are natural starting points, while Thai food, vegetarian dishes and poultry with cream sauces are also recommended by the producer. Choose the pairing to suit your table: a cool pasta salad for an easy lunch, sushi to share with friends, or creamy chicken for dinner. The 750ml bottle contains 13% alcohol and sulphites.
