Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 50% Macabeo, 35% Parellada and 15% Xarel-lo, pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruit with a mineral tang, light bubbles and mousse. On the palate flavors of apple and citrus with slight biscuit notes, medium finish ending with a toasty citrus mineral character.

Pale lemon yellow with green tinges. Green apple, dried flowers, and prominent lees notes. Crisp, clean, and mineral on the palate. Great QPR. 11.5% ABV.

Kara loves it. Nice and fresh. Dry without puckering the mouth hole.

Could taste some of the potential but unfortunately the bottle was improperly stored and was corked when opened

Approachable subtle lemon peel aroma notes, mild toasted and Brioche taste, bright acidity with not so over lingering finish. Parable with any shellfish in any occasion. A crowd pleaser!

Very nice for the price. 3.99 at TW with discount. Crisp and tart, perfect for less syrupy aperol spritz.
