Macabeo ("Mah-cah-BAY-oh") may be one of the most widely planted white grapes that you've never heard of.
Macabeo, along with the similarly unfamiliar grapes Xarel-lo and Parellada, is a major player in cava, the inexpensive, good-value Spanish sparkling wine that's popular around the world.
Macabeo makes a crisp, white wine with fragrant floral aromas, not overly high in acid, a description that encourages wine makers to blend it with other grapes to achieve a more balanced flavor profile.

Macabeo is often blended with xarel-lo and parellada to make sparkling wines.
Macabeo is also grown in southern France, where it's the sole variety in the côtes du roussillon Blanc.

The first written reference to the great quality of the region's wines was made on the Ist century A.D. by renowned historian and poet Marcus Valerius Martialis, who was born in the Roman city of Augusta Bílbilis, today known as Calatayud.
The most celebrated wines are red: the Cabernet Sauvignon is earthy and highly extracted, with fine texture and fl cherry fruit flavors as well as herbal, tobacco aromas; while the Tempranillo is well-rounded and lush with plum, smoke and chocolate flavors, but not as heavy as in other areas.
