Shop/wine critic/winery review:
    Mostly Airen with a little bit of Macabeo .Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.



My Review:  
    This wine has a nice pale goldish color and hints of lemon and honey on the nose. Upon tasting, this wine has a nice body,a smooth mid-palette, and a nice lasting finish. This wine is clean, citrusy, slightly sweet, slightly dry, and has hints of melon as well as hints of lemon on the finish. This is quite a nice wine, especially for the price. 80-81/100
