Tasting - El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay

Name: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety: Blended
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 a longer time.

My Review: You could tell that this wine had been aged in either a steel or cement tank. There was not much color to this wine, almost clear. It's nose reflected a classic Chardonnay blend. The taste was sharp and crisp but with a sweeter/smoother finish that lingered.

I tried this wine without any food.
