Macabeo

The Macabeo grape, also known as Viura in some parts of Spain, is a white grape variety widely planted in Spain's Rioja, Penedès, and Navarra wine regions. It is also grown in southern France and other parts of the world, where it is often used in blends to add acidity and fruitiness.

Macabeo is known for producing fresh, fruity, and aromatic wines with a light to medium body. The wine typically exhibits floral aromas, along with notes of apple, citrus, and tropical fruits. It is usually unoaked, but some winemakers age the wine in oak barrels to add complexity and depth.

In Spain, Macabeo is often blended with other grape varieties, including Xarel-lo and Parellada, to make Cava, the country's most famous sparkling wine. It is also used to make still wines, both varietal and blended, which are typically enjoyed young.

Overall, Macabeo is a versatile grape that is used to produce a range of fresh, fruity, and easy-drinking wines. If you're looking for a white wine that is light and refreshing, Macabeo is definitely worth trying.
