Grape Varietals & Region: Tardana & Macabeo blend from Valencia, Spain. It is a native varietal to Utiel-Requena, and comes from an old vine plot. Its name "El Romano" ("The Roman") actually comes from the vineyard plot name where the macabeo and tardana grapes are grown.

Taste Profile: A straw-white wine with floral aromas and well-integrated acidity. The Tardana grape gives it salinity and minerality.
