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 flavors 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: This wine was very light: in color, flavor, aroma. I found it dry and crisp. On the nose, there was a noticeable chlorine quality to the wine. I also got banana and dust in the scent. There was a peachy undertone and was slightly sparkly. The long finish at the end of this wine seemed like an attempt to make this wine memorable, but I don’t think it succeeded. This wine was ‘eh’.

With food?: I didn’t have any food with this wine.
