Mácula DO - Vitivinicola Tandem

Mácula from Vitivinicola Tandem is an innovative Spanish blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes  from the D.O. Navarra in the north of Spain. Translated, Mácula means the art stain symbolized on the label. 

In the glass, this wine appears a dark Bordeaux red. A multi-faceted bouquet opens on the nose with notes of pepper, clove, balsamic, dark chocolate and ripe, juicy wild berries. On the palate, this Spanish red wine is powerful and elegant at the same time, structured body with harmoniously integrated tannins, notes of violets and dried flowers. The finish is long and present, elegant and very impressive.

Food recommendation for the Tandem Tinto Mácula

A powerful, round red wine that pairs perfectly with braised meats, red meats, rump steak and aged, strong cheeses. But also drunk solo this wine is a pleasure. It is recommended to decant this wine.
