Tasting - El Siero Macabeo/Chardonnay

Name: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety: 70% Chardonnay, 30% Macabeo
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 reflects 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: The nose of this wine provided floral notes, as well as a hint of grass and earth.  The taste of this wine involved samples of tropical fruits such as pineapple, papaya, and tangerine.  Personally, I wasn't particularly fond of the finish on this wine.  Overall, though, it was a pretty decent wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
