The end of the road for this Franco-Españolas bottle, a budget savy Viura (Macabeo).

Nose of oxidized white peach, ripe pear, citrus zest, candle wax and a caramel candy note.
Palate has ripe white peach, citrus pulp, light saline note and a short finish.

My second Franco-Españolas bottle in as many days, checking in on this budget Viura.

Nose of ripe white peach, citrus zest and a faint warm caramel note.
Palate has ripe white peach, citrus pulp and a sweet saline note.

This has picked up some new aspects since our last bottle. Still an uncomplicated wine and easy to appreciate, yet divisive as my cuter half continues to not be a fan of this, and all the prior ones.

Hot days call for cool wines, Spanish whites today; best of three bottles opened to date, maybe it just needed a couple years to evolve. Ripe (White) peach note with light acidity.

Full, some glycerol, pear and melon, dry finish, there's also some weird fresh cut grass in here
