Sicilia Grillo

Aromas - Almond, apple and a little bit of custard. Lovely in the mouth, slightly oily, a bit of acidity and some peach stone bitterness. Plenty to it for the money.

Ps (read the label after making this note - the label says papaya and I can see that - a papaya is also known as pawpaw or 'custard-apple', however in reality as well as tasting of apples and custard, papayas taste of sewage).

Lemon yellow with green nuance.
Scents: grapefruit, lemon, limestone, yeast, yellow sour fruits.
Crispy acid, light sweet attack with fresh bitterness.

2012 They produce 350,000 bottles of this Grillo 100%, they sell it at €4.80 at the winery wine shop.

Wine Society: really fresh, bit of sharpness but just the right amount - had other grillo's that take the sharpness a bit further & lack the fruit & finish of this one. Really quite good & would buy again. Might clash with some foods but great on its own.

Fruité mais bien vif. What else?

Herbaceous, slightly astringent, briny, floral.

Taste of mango or peach, reasonable good white wine, easy drinking, local grape

Funky tasting red with citrus flavours.

Rich nose. Pretty sweet, on a pleasantly grassy base. Thin finish, but some lingering acidity.
