Tasting- El Cortijillo

Name: El Cortijillo

Variety: Verdejo

Region, Country: La Mancha, Spain

Year: 2015

Price: $4.95

Wine Review: Golden straw color. Bright, attractive, tropical aromas of creme brulee and fruit tart with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, intriguing, snappy lime and apple finish with crunchy, fruit tannins and light oak. A super smooth and pure white sipper.

Personal Review: Not a super strong initial smell. Very strong taste of grape. Much more bland than expected. After taste does not linger long. Probably would not sit down with a glass of this on a regular basis. I did not try this wine with food.
