Caifas Macabeo NV

The Caifas Macabeo NV is a crisp, sunlit white that delivers bright flavors and easy charm in every sip. Aromas of green apple, ripe pear, and white peach leap from the glass, mingling with hints of citrus blossom and a delicate floral touch. On the palate, it’s light-bodied and refreshingly dry, with a smooth texture and zippy acidity that brings balance and lift. Notes of lemon zest, a whisper of honey, and a clean, mineral finish make it feel both vibrant and polished. It walks the line between crisp and approachable, perfect for laid-back sipping, sunny patios, and pairing with fresh seafood, tapas, or light Mediterranean fare. This is Macabeo at its most easygoing: aromatic, elegant, and built for real-life pleasure.

The Caifas Macabeo NV is a zesty, fruit-forward white that pairs effortlessly with light, fresh dishes. Its crisp notes of green apple, pear, and lemon blossom shine alongside grilled seafood, citrusy salads, goat cheese, and Mediterranean bites like hummus, olives, and manchego. A touch of residual sugar makes it a great match for sushi, spring rolls, and mildly spiced Thai or Vietnamese fare. Best served chilled, this wine is made for sunny afternoons, breezy dinners, and casual bites—bringing a refreshing, easygoing elegance to every meal.

Founded in 1943 in the sunbaked heart of Extremadura, Bodegas López Morenas S.L. began as a humble family winery in the small town of Fuente del Maestre. What started as a traditional grape-growing operation led by the father of Don Manuel López Morenas has since grown into one of Spain’s most dynamic wine producers—without ever losing its roots. Over the decades, the family’s commitment to quality and adaptability has turned López Morenas into a trusted name across more than 75 countries, known for crafting approachable wines that overdeliver on value.

Set in the Meseta Central, Spain’s vast high plateau, the winery enjoys a continental climate of hot days and cool nights—ideal conditions for growing grapes with rich flavor and natural acidity. The region’s free-draining soils and extreme temperature shifts are a recipe for freshness and balance, especially in whites like Macabeo, the star of their Caifas line (saq.com, firstleaf.com). While most of the winery’s output carries the Vino de la Tierra designation, the wines consistently reflect the sun-soaked character of central Spain in a clean, modern style.
