Details
This wine is all about that lovely citrus freshness and a hint of herbal character. Preserved lemon and zesty lime flavours dominate, with a lick of minerality.
Origin: Penedès in south-eastern Spain. Mainly Grown In: Spain (in particular Rioja, where it is called Viura) or Roussillon in France (known as Rolle). Key Facts: ‘Viura’ in Rioja, ‘Macabeo’ in the rest of Spain and ‘Rolle’ in parts of France. Wherever you find it, you can be sure it's going to be a winner. Somewhat under-appreciated (like Molly Weasley), it just needs the right light to shine. In the north of Spain it is responsible for some very age-worthy whites, often aged in wood, and always with a floral/nutty edge to them. In the south of France it is often blended with Grenache Blanc to make powerful, rich styles, as well as playing a vital role in the famous pink wines of Provence. A real charmer, Viura is a grape to watch out for. Fun Fact: A well-travelled grape, Viura is found in a few regions of France as well as Spain.

Pairing guide
We’re huge Macabeo fans at Good Pair Days, and there’s something especially sunny and inviting about this zesty bottle. It’s a brilliant picnic wine - if you serve this with goat’s cheese bruschetta, ham and cheese croquetas, a decent pasta salad with pesto and parmesan, homemade quiche or mackerel pate, you’re onto a real winner. Simple fish dishes, white meats served with a tropical fruit salsa, jerk chicken or peri-peri classics will also provide superb pairing options to try. Delicious!

Wine region
Rioja, Spain
Rioja (riˈouhɑ) is one of Spain’s most well-known wine regions, located in the north of Spain. The region has a long history of making wine that dates back to the period of the Roman Empire. The climate is typically Mediterranean with hot summers and cool winters which suits the varieties of Rioja; Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. Graciano almost became extinct due to the effects of phylloxera in the late 1800s however, luckily, the variety is back in full swing. There are three main classifications of wine according to their ageing process- Crianza, Reserve and Gran Reserva.
