Easy drinking warm weather white with plenty of acditiy and a touch of sweetness to keep it from being sour. Mostly lemon and citrus notes for me. Agree with JMCMCHI that this holds up well, now for 6 years, though the screwcap definitely keeps it from oxidizing too soon. $11 Westgate Wine is a good value but doesn't necessarily drink above this price point for me. Still a solid B (86) evaluation.

For a theoretically early drinking quaffer, this is remarkably fresh at four years old
Screw cap, nice acidity, detectable fruit, nice balance as a meal accompaniment (alcohol "only" 11.5%). Not subtle or complex, just sound winemaking, consistent with its approach back in the Penedes days

I've had this wine several times now (with different vintages) and it is a good wine for its price. It is probably one of my favourites for the cheap wines.

Citrus on the nose. Rather full bodied and dry on the palate, showing ample citrussy fruit with good acidic backbone. Always solid stuff. Had a half bottle with the seafood pasta at Piccolo Italia in Palma.

Lovely floral nose, a little thin on palate, good citrus acidity
Uncomplicated: enjoyable, straightforward, no pretentions Summer drinking
