Tasting - El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay

Name: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety: 95% Macabeo, 5% Chardonnay
Region: Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95
Winery Review:

“In the glass, there is a bright and shiny white wine with an incredibly welcoming, fresh appetizing aroma reminiscent of ripe tropical fruits. The flavor is rich, balanced and extremely comfortable. The near-perfect all-purpose white wine. As an additional benefit, and good evidence that El Sierro reflect the new Spain, the bottle is sealed with the technical viewed perfect screw cap that at once eliminates any risk of cork flavor and keeps the fruit and the wine fresher for longer time.”


 My Review: On the nose I smell fruity aromas that remind me of pineapple and apricot.  The flavor carries hints of apple and tropical fruit like pineapple. There is also an almost vegetable quality to the flavor as well but I can't really figure out which one specifically is present.  Very light and crisp. I did not try this wine with food.
