Macabeo is a white grape variety widely cultivated in northeastern Spain, particularly in Catalonia and Aragon. It is a key component in Cava production and is also used in still white wines. The variety is known for its versatility and ability to produce fresh, crisp wines.
Flavors & Aromas
Green apple, citrus, white flowers, almond, and subtle stone fruit notes with a crisp, mineral quality
Winemaking & Aging
High acidity and moderate alcohol content make it ideal for sparkling wine production. The grape has good aging potential, particularly in Cava where it can develop complexity over several years. It is relatively disease-resistant and adaptable to various terroirs.
