Region: Catalonia
Country: Spain

Shop review: Easy, chiseled and refreshing stuff from Catalonia that's 54% Macabeo and 46% Sauvignon Blanc, by no means a common combo in Spain. Aromas of lime are clean, while the palate locks in on orange and grapefruit flavors with perfect acidity. Delightful salad and appetizer wine.
My review: A very enjoyable wine. On the nose, it smells of sweet but soft honeysuckle and soft vanilla. The mid-palate is surprisingly more of citrus flavors, a unique contrast to the wine's nose.
I did not have food with this tasting.
