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.

Personal Review: This wine was a light straw color. I got the smell of ripe apples, mango and lemons. The fruit flavor really showed in the nose, which was very acidic and tart. The alcohol cut through the flavors and it was very sharp. This wine reminded me of Spring and the near approaching warm weather. The flavors were strong. I did not try this wine with food. I think a pasta and white sauce would go great with this wine!
