Tasting-El Sierro Macabeo/Chard(white)+

Name: El Sierro
Variety: Macabeo/Chard
Region: N/A
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95

Shop/wine critic/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: It smells quite tropical and refreshing, but with some sour spoiled undertones. There’s a quite good smooth finish but the start is a bite rough. It’s sour with an overly acidic bite right at the beginning. This would be helped with some cheese or other fat to dull the acid to a tolerable level.

CONCLUSION: Would drink again.


Not tasted with food
