I've had the Macabeo grape in something else, but needed to taste it completely on it's own. So, my last time at the wine store, I decided to pick this one up. Definitely a lesser known varietal here, this Spanish grape delivers nicely with what I can gather the taste of lemons muted with pineapple and with a hints of freshly cut grass in the nose.

This wine should be consumed with light fare, especially seafood dishes as well as salads. This would probably be divine with a paella or a nice cold seafood salad, either lettuce based or pasta based.

I look forward to trying more wines with this grape in it, especially something like a dessert variation.
