Shop/wine critic/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. As an additional benefit, and good evidence that El Sierro reflect the new Spain, the bottle is sealed with the technical viewed perfect screw cap that at once eliminates any risk of cork flavor and keeps the fruit and the wine fresher for longer time.


My Review:  
    This wine presents a very pale yellow-white color and a citrusy tropical nose. Upon tasting, the wine has a nice smooth body, with a light flavor throughout. This wine transitions well to a lasting finish. This is a solid wine, but not outstanding. 79/100
