Winery Review: "100% Tocai Friulano
Straw-coloured yellow with a pale green tint express an intense, delicately
aromatic and floral bouquet.The flavour is dry, soft, slightly fruity, with
slightly bitter nuance in its almond aftertaste, and suggestion of peach."
My Review: Another white, but unlike the previous Mas LLunes it was hay yellow and not lime green. It had a distinct floral bouquet with tones of honeysuckle, pineapple, and orange peel. On the palate I was getting earthy tones of freshly cut grass mixed with pears and even peanuts. I personally did not enjoy this white as much as the Mas LLunes and it was forgettable. It was soft and timid, and I would have liked a more complex harmony of flavors. It was not paired with food, but I'd like to try this with sesame crackers and garlic and herb cheese.
