Tasting - Jesus Diaz Vinos de Madrid

Name:  Jesus Diaz Blanco Vinos de Madrid
Variety:  Malvar
Region:  Madrid
Country:  Spain
Year:  2010
Price:  $8.95

Winery Review:  Vinos de Madrid is a region of Spain not often encountered in the US, while Malvar is considered a regional specialty but remains unknown outside of central Spain.  Zesty acidity and tropical fruit make this obscure buy a great food wine.

My Review:  The color of this wine was light yellow in the glass. It had some very fruity aromas of grapes and melon. On the palate it had a medium body, with a dryer mouth-feel.    The taste was similar to the aroma which was one of a dry melon.  Overall, I did not find this wine to be particularly memorable.

I did not try this wine with food.
