Tasting - Colmenar de Oreja El Blanco de Jesus Diaz

Name: Colmenar de Oreja El Blanco de Jesus Diaz
Variety: 100% Malvar
Region: Madrid
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
 Price: $12.00

Winery Review: Pale yellow straw-like color with greenish to grey or steely overtones in young wines turning to golden yellow or old gold in vintage and reserve white wines. Frank and fruity aromas, chiefly of seed fruit, stone fruit, tropical or caramelized fruit. A fresh, slightly acid taste, sweet in the case of semi-sweet and sweet wines. Lush with bitter overtones.

My Review: This wine had less of a fruit aroma than the previous wine . Taste wise, the fruit flavors came through and had a smooth finish. There was some acidity but was kept at a minimum.

I did not have this wine with food.
