Manda Huevos Carramainas Macabeo 2021

0 star rating 0 Reviews
Beautifully made, mouth-filling yet fresh tasting macabeo from a single vineyard in Calatayud in northern Spain. The high altitude here (850m) ripens grapes with intense flavours yet extremely fine acidity. Expressive with aromas of nuts and butter this is Norrel Robertson's nod to Burgundy.

El Escocés Volante

Literally translated as ‘the flying Scotsman’, El Escocés Volante is the brainchild of Spanish resident and Scottish winemaker Norrel Robertson MW. He learned working from the cellar up, including placements in Chianti, Portugal, Australia, France and Chile, eventually completing a postgraduate viticulture and oenology course at Lincoln University in Christchurch, New Zealand, graduating with distinction.

Norrel produces wines from across some of Spain's more obscure wine regions: his speciality is garnacha, in particular from Calatayud, but he also makes excellent wines in Galicia, Murcia and Andalucía.

The Observer

A gloriously mouthfilling, pithy, Burgundy-esque oaked white, is a new-to-me highlight.

Pale gold. Edgy and very Macabeo! Another perfect wine for educational purposes. Lots of structure and chewiness with fruit in the middle. Long. Good value. JancisRobinson.com

Norrel Robertson MW, known as the Escocés Volante (Flying Scotsman), is making some of the most distinctive wines in northern Spain right now. Manda Huevos – Spanish slang for “no way!” – is a remarkable, barrel-fermented cuvée of Macabeo and 5% Garnacha Blanca from an 85-year-old vineyard at 850 metres in Calatayud. Creamy, spicy and stylishly wooded, it has notes of beeswax and citrus zest, stony intensity and a hint of vanilla spice.
