There is a great variety of grapes used for the making of champagne : Macabeo, Xarel.lo, Parellada, Chardonnays, Pinot, Noir, etc. We will deal with the first three sort of grapes being the most traditional and used in the making of all the different kinds of champagnes.
Parellada is a mild wine, with a stronger proof than Macabeo, which gives the champagne bouquet.
The mixing of the three kinds of grapes, with the right proportions given by an onoelogist, will be the base for a second fermentation.

Macabeo is often blended with xarel-lo and parellada to make sparkling wines.
It's because of Macabeo's higher yields (and not the quality of its wines) that this variety is pushing out the more traditional white grapes used in Rioja white wines-malvasia and Garnacha Blanca (grenache).
Unfortunately, Malvasia is not an extremely high-yielding vine and is being replaced by better-producing but less-flavorful grapes such as trebbiano in Italy and Viura (macabeo) in Spain.

This wine is made of the grape variety Macabeo.
By controlling the temperature, we succeeded in preserving some sugars at the final fermentation, so that the wine has a soft sweet taste.
This, together with a fine aroma and an extremely white colour, make it an excellent wine.

 Naive Things
The most celebrated wines are red: the Cabernet Sauvignon is earthy and highly extracted, with fine texture and black 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.
In the other provinces (outside Catalunya) Macabeo -Viura- is the principal grape, in some cases accounting for 100%, and sometimes blended with a little Parellada or Malvasía.
Cavas are produced in huge quantities with automated production that allows the traditional méthode champenoise, but these sparkling wines, described as earthy, mushroomy, or rubbery in taste, have distinctly different flavors from Champagne and may be an acquired taste.

 Wines From Spain >> Grape variety
Together with the Macabeo and Parellada varieties, it makes up the trilogy of cava grapes.
It is still used on a very small scale by Spanish wine-producers, but is likely to gain wider acceptance in the future, given that it is a grape of superb quality that grows well in warm regions.
It is considered a main variety in the Alella (where it is known as Pansá), Costers del Segre, Penedés and Tarragona DOs, as well as in denominated cava-producing areas.
