Macabeo

Macabeo is a white grape variety commonly used in Spanish wines, especially in the regions of Rioja and Catalonia. It produces light to medium-bodied wines with fresh, crisp acidity and subtle fruit flavors like apple, pear, and citrus. Often, Macabeo is blended with other grapes or used to make sparkling wines like Cava. Its versatility allows it to create wines that are refreshing, lively, and suitable for pairing with a variety of foods. The grape's ability to produce both still and sparkling wines has made it a significant and adaptable component in Spain's wine industry.
