This is a very successful rendition of Garnacha Blanca that will excel as a summer sipper or a partner for spicy foods. Juicy and full of fresh fruit, yet not grapey or obvious, it shows delicious notes recalling golden apples, mangoes and pears. Delicate scents of white blossoms are alluring without being excessively perfumed, and there’s plenty of acidity to freshen the aftertaste without threatening to seem too tart to even the most sensitive tasters. The finish is admirably persistent for a wine that offers so much pure fun up front.
