Shop 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 a longer time.
My review: Even with the addition of the Macabeo grape, which I have never had before, this wine was very much a typical chardonnay. There was a good nose to it, but hardly any flavor. The wine smelled of mango and honeydew, and had a bit of an acidic smell to it. The wine itself was very light and watery, with some taste of fruit, but nothing that really stood out. It wasn't bad, but I still probably wouldn't try this again.
