Tasting - El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay

Name:  El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety:  Macabeo and Chardonnay
Region:  Valencia
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 this wine gives a peachy, yet citrusy aroma; hints of honey are also present. However, on the palate I do not get much from it. It is very light bodied with very subtle tastes of peach. This wine is seems too plain.


Food:  Did not have with food
