Shop/wine critic/winery review:
(70%
mereseguera, 20% viura and 10% moscatel): Light yellow. Perfumed
aromas of Meyer lemon, melon and white flowers show good clarity and a hint of
ginger. Juicy, open-knit citrus fruit and peach flavors are firmed by a
zesty mineral quality and a touch of white pepper. The melon note repeats
on the clinging but slightly warm finish.
Your Review:
Spanish white. Good. I feel like we don't try a lot of whites out of Spain. It had a pretty strong acidity that was good; I did note some mineral. I didn't get much fruit out of the nose, so I guess it must have been more floral. I'm still not good on what specifically. Definitely a good find wine. One thing I did note was just how clear it was. That was really interesting. I want to try these grapes by themselves; I think that would be a good next step to determine what varietal carries which flavors.
