Macabeo: prefers a warm and dry climate <\/span>(is susceptible to rot in a wet climate). Mainly grown in Northern Spain (where the grape is also called Viura). In warm regions the wines reach a higher alcohol content than in humid regions. Macabeo is round, fine and fruity in taste. Also used as a base for sparkling wines. In Rioja known as Viura and in France as Maccabeu. <\/p>\n Parellada a white grape of good quality. Mainly used in Pened\u00e8s in Northern Spain for sparkling wine. Contributes freshness and fruitiness. The parellada is often served together with <\/span>the macabeo and xarel-lo mixed, and can also be mixed with chardonnay, and sauvignon blanc. Still wines are also made from it, which are light, fresh and softly floral and have good acidity and a low alcohol content (9-11%) for Spain. The grape is also found in the Costers del Serge wine region. Parellada wines should be drunk young. <\/p>\n <\/span>Xarel-Lo. This grape used to cause a lot of trouble in Cava centers. The grape suffered from oxidation problems, giving the Cavas a strange root-like taste. Today this problem has been eradicated and he delivers the base, weight, power and alcohol that no Cava can do without. The Xarel-lo is indispensable in Spanish Cava. He adds the strength and the alcohol. One of the latest developments is a blend of Xarel-lo \u2013 Monastrell. This experiment was successfully applied by Freixenet, one of the leading Cava producers from Catalunya. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mont Mar\u00e7al Palau Brut<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":39873,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_joinchat":[]},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2464,2455],"product_tag":[3593,3621,3624,3600,2479,2622,7173],"class_list":{"0":"post-39881","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-spanish-wine","7":"product_cat-sparkling-wine","8":"product_tag-macabeo-en","9":"product_tag-mont-marcal-en","10":"product_tag-parellada-en","11":"product_tag-penedes-en","12":"product_tag-spain-en","13":"product_tag-sparkling-en","14":"product_tag-xarel-lo-en","15":"product_shipping_class-wijnfles-en","16":"pa_druivensoort-macabeo-en","17":"pa_druivensoort-parellada-en","18":"pa_druivensoort-xarel-lo-en","19":"pa_gastronomie-aperitief-en","20":"pa_land-spain","21":"pa_smaakprofiel-sparkling-fresh","22":"pa_streek-penedes-en","23":"pa_wijnhuis-mont-marcal-en","24":"pa_wijnsoort-sparkling","26":"first","27":"instock","28":"taxable","29":"shipping-taxable","30":"purchasable","31":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/39881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=39881"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=39881"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.globalwineries.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=39881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
