Shop 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 a 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: This wine had a distinct, perfumey scent as soon as I sniffed it. It smelled a bit musty in the glass, like a hot melon. It was bitter on the tongue. I could only describe the taste as a Sour Patch Kid, or any other sour fruit candy. It had hints of fruit, but I was distracted by the overpowering sour taste on the palate. It was not all bad, though. I enjoyed the sourness of this white wine.
I tasted this wine on its own without food.
