Tasting - El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay

Name:  El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay and Macabeo (also known as Viura)
Year: no year given
Region:  Valencia
Country:  Spain
Price:  $6.95

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."

My Review:  The wine has a slight apricot aromatic.  When first tasted, it was ahrd to distinguish any flavors, and it all seemed fruity and muddled.  The finish was dry and kind of citrusy.  Overall the wine was a little too tart, but I found it to be well-balanced with the sweetness.  I did not try the wine with food.
