A blend of half Macabeo, the primary indigenous white grape variety of Yecla, and half Chardonnay. The Mac-Chard from Castaño is sourced from Las Gruesas in the north of the DO and El Espinal in the Southeast. Las Gruesas in a terrunyo high in elevation (750m) with limestone-rich soils – ideally suited for the growing of Chardonnay which is complimented with warmer and more generous Chardonnay and Macabeo from the sandy soils of El Espinal. Fermented aged in tank with a small percentage in oak, it is bottled after two months of aging.
