Winery Review:  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 longer time.

 

My Review:  In the glass this wine was a light yellow color.  The aroma was one of apples and pears.  On the palate this wine was very light and acidic.  This wine had a very unique flavor.  At the beginning the wine tastes of sweet apple, but left me with a rubbery finish.  The finish however, was very smooth.  This was definitely a decent wine for the price.

I did not drink this wine with food.
