Community Tasting Notes 2

YWG Wine Guy Likes this wine: 88 points
July 14, 2011 - Complex, somewhat rich style here that i like. Not your crisp, aroma bomb from NZ...Nose is pleasant and soft with white fruit, some tropical notes. Palate is medium bodied, smooth and rounded. Some tart grapefruit in there along with a hint of pear on the finish which is nice. Enjoyable on its own or with food...

July 14, 2011 - From the prodcuer...
"This is a fresh wine, which should be consumed within two years. The name refers to my family's Spanish origins and we produce 75,000 bottles of it.
The grapes are equal quantities of Catarratto and Inzolia, fermented separately. The wines are blended in November.
So far this seems like technical information, but I was also asked to give my personal impressions in this page on the wines. I can tell you, then, that the effort we put into processing these grapes and producing this wine that is equal to, if not greater than, that for the production of more expensive wines. The reason is simple: this is the wine that is consumed most and therefore our largest production."
