Tasting: Cresta Azul


Name: Cresta Azul
Variety: Moscatel, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo
Region: None listed
Country: Spain
Year: None listed
Price: $5.95

Winery review: Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.

My review: I was informed that this wine was off-dry, meaning that is is slightly sweet. It was definitely on the sweeter side but not sickeningly so. The overall impression I got was FLORAL, but it is important to add that there was a mineral aspect as well as a very, very strong apricot.

Food:  None
