Macabeu in Cava — the dominant variety of the Cava DOC with Xarel-lo and Parellada, vinified by the traditional method on the limestone soils of the Penedès in Catalonia — is the pillar of great Spanish Cavas. With its discreet aromas and natural acidity, it contributes neutrality and finesse to these sparkling wines.
