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: On the nose there were mangoes mixed in with floral tones. There was also an earthy, top soil component that gave this a rustic feel to complement its freshness. The surface texture was smooth with a strong finish. I was getting honey suckle, lime, tangerines, and the same floral notions I got from the nose. I enjoyed this fresh white and it should be paired with anything light- herbed salmon or a fruit salad. It is a very versatile white.
