Product Description
Details

Produced by L'Olivera Cooperativa, the wine Agaliu is an organic Spanish white wine made solely from Macabeo.

The grapes were meticulously harvested and selected. Using only the "free-run" juice, 65% this organic white wine was fermented in American and French oak barrels, 15% new. The remaining 35% of this vegan white wine went through the process in stainless steel tanks.

After that, 65% of the white wine Agaliu 2023 from DO Costers del Segre was aged on its lees for 6-8 months with periodic strirrings in the barrels. The rest was aged in concrete diposits, ceramic amphorae and stainless steel tanks.

Packaged with a characteristic blue bottle, this white wine from Costers del Segre is produced near the beautiful Vallbona de les Monges monastery, in the very heart of the so-called Cistercian Route in southern Catalonia. An oasis of tranquility that really deserves a visit.

13,664 bottles produced.

The white wine Agaliu is medium yellow with some greenish glints.

Nose

This varietal Macabeo suggests aromas of citrus, white flowers, dry fruit, some smokey hints and some mineral remembrances.

Palate

Dry and fresh, this white wine of L'Olivera Cooperativa is smooth-bodied, with an excellent acidity and a long, gently mineral finish with remembrances of bitter herbs, pears and aniseed.

Our personal opinion

The white wine Agaliu 2023 pairs well with many kinds of food. We suggest pairing this organic Macabeo with pasta and creamy cheeses.

I find this wine subtle, fresh and very nicely made. Besides, there is a worthy cause behind it.
