Tasting: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay

El Sierro Macabeo - Chardonnay, Valencia, Spain

Name: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: N/A
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $6.95


Vintage Wine Cellar (Amanda): "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 an 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 a longer time."


My Review: This wine was quite dry, which was surprising because it was a white, not a red wine. It was quite strong but not overwhelming which was nice. This white was rather bland with a very tart taste that really did not keep me interested. It had a fruity, pear smell that I did enjoy but did not necessarily correlate to the taste and finish of the wine. This wine was one of the better ones that I tasted at this wine tasting, but was not the best none-the-less.
