Winery Review: "Mostly Airen with a little bit of Macabeo .Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value."
My Review: This white was a pretty golden lime color. There was lemongrass and citrus fruits on the nose. On the palate there were tones of metallic, cool mint chocolate chip ice cream mixed in with the citrus flavors. It reminded me somewhat of a mint julep. The surface texture was smooth and crisp, with a carbonated feel to the finish. For the price, this was a great and clean choice. Like with all whites, this should be enjoyed with light appetizers, salad, and seafood (particularly herbed salmon).
