(451 views) | | | Tasted by UFGators on 1/28/2023 & rated 90 points: Not the most complex but so unqiue and interesting and almost too easy to drink. One to drink now. (796 views) | | | Tasted by Irish_Wine on 11/1/2022 & rated 87 points: Medium lemon colour.
Medium intensity on the nose with lots of citrus notes - lime.
Dry on the palate with medium intensity, medium plus acidity, medium body, medium finish.
Enjoyable crisp wine to enjoy in the spring sun.
(289 views) | | | Tasted by SpenceP on 10/17/2022 & rated 91 points: Enjoyable immediately after opening, but even more so with 15 minutes in the glass. Flowers, lemons, grapefruit, minerals, quinine, pears, hints of hard-to-identify mixed herbs, very dry with vivid acidity, a touch of Granny Smith apples in the long aftertaste (which was much briefer immediately after opening). Really quite nice. This will only fade with age--I'd drink it over the next year or less. (Tasted over an hour from the Jancis Robinson glass.)

(963 views) | | | Tasted by juffer on 6/10/2022 & rated 87 points: Grapefruit and mineral nose. Bubbles appeared very course, but mouthfeel is much softer than appearance would lead to believe. Ends with soft fruit and less acidity than anticipated but with a nice slight touch of bitter. Simple, easy to drink. (972 views) | | | Tasted by Harley1199 on 5/22/2022: By the glass. Fruity and floral in equal parts. On the palate it is a wine, fresh and truly vibrant, with a slight carbon thrust. Acid and with a vegetable touch, astringent. Ideal to go out. Nothing more and nothing less.
Por copas. Frutal y floral a partes iguales. En boca se muestra como un vino, fresco y verdaderamente vibrante, con un ligero empuje carbónico. Ácido y con un toque vegetal, astringente. Ideal para salir de chateo. Nada más y nada menos. (1031 views) | | | Tasted by winepog on 4/4/2022 & rated 89 points: A little spritz in here, which doesn't bother me. Flavors were austere, this is more minerally than fruit forward. Cheers! (761 views) | | | Tasted by PDX-S on 3/26/2022: Pale, almost translucent, hay colored.
Steely, lemon aromas with a punch of grapefruit pith on the back end.
A mouthful of mineral, lemon and nickels- in that order.
Lean and acidic upfront, with just a small amount of roundness on the mid palate. Put a nickel inside your cheeks on each side of your jaw and 10 seconds later you’ll know exactly how this wine finishes… with a long drawn out metallic tang.
Very nice, lightweight wine with more edge than body.
Drink now and over 2-3 years. (710 views) | | | Tasted by PghMike on 2/20/2022 & rated 94 points: Very light in color, almost clear. Nose of mango, lemon, grass and green apple. Tart lime, violets, with significant acidity on the palate. Light body and just a little effervescent. Quite enjoyable.
12 percent abv. (660 views) | | | Tasted by JNebs on 2/6/2022 & rated 91 points: Gooseberry, pear, citrus, Marcona almond with refreshing acidity and moderate gas (near crémant). Really delightful. Good with food or on its own. (488 views) | | | Tasted by elrascuache on 1/14/2022 & rated 90 points: Fantastic value! Yellow with a greenish tinge. Aromas of green apple, grapefruit, pineapple, passion fruit. Zingy palate with ample freshness and a tart, acidic finish. I had this with a warm lobster roll and this wine sang. So happy to have a few more bottles in my cellar. (474 views) | | | Tasted by Dravin on 11/16/2021 & rated 92 points: Medium yellow with the occasional lazy bubble. Pear, citrus, honey, stone , and some salinity on the nose. Green apple, honey, and a hint of starfruit on the palate. Dry, zesty acidity, and ever so slightly effervescent makes for a lively mouthfeel. Vaguely tropical short finish. (426 views) | | | Tasted by Henman on 7/1/2021 & rated 88 points: Green apples on the nose. Light to medium bodied, dry and crispy, showing subtle green apples with some effervescence and refreshing lean acidity. Came to think of vinho verde. Easy and pleasant to drink. A great summer quaffer. (615 views) |

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info. |
