Availability: In stock
The wine Celler 9+ Selecció 1r is an interesting Spanish white wine from DO Tarragona.
A varietal Macabeo, this natural white wine of bodega Celler 9+ was sourced from old, low-yielding vineyards which receive the cooling effect of the sea wind. The vineyards are organically certified.
The grapes were fermented, macerated for 38 days under low temperature in stainless steel tanks and pressed. The winery used only the “first-press” wine.
The white wine Celler 9+ Selecció 1r 2024 was then kept in the tanks for 9 months, with weekly stirrings of the lees.
The wine was bottled with no added sulfites or chemical preservatives.
We suggest aerating this organic white wine from Tarragona before drinking.

Our personal opinion | The wine Celler 9+ Selecció 1r 2024 proves that the “only good for Cava” cliché doesn’t do justice to Macabeo. |
