Macabeu
Macabeu or Macabeo is a white wine grape that is primarily grown in the Catalonia region of Spain, as well as in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of France. It is also known as Macabeo in Spain and Maccabeu in France.
This grape is highly valued for its ability to produce high-quality wines with a wide range of flavors. Macabeu wines are typically dry and crisp, with a medium to full body. They often exhibit notes of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, with a hint of minerality.
In Spain, Macabeu is one of the three main grapes used in the production of Cava, a sparkling wine that is known for its elegance and complexity. In France, it is often blended with other white grape varieties to create refreshing and aromatic wines.
Macabeu is a versatile grape that can be used to produce both still and sparkling wines. Its ability to retain acidity even in warm climates makes it a popular choice for winemakers.
In the natural wine world, popular producers making good use of Macabeo include Matassa, Escoda-Sanahuja, Partida Creus and Mendall.
