Tasting - "El Sierro Macabeo/Chard."

Name: El Sierro Macabeo/Chard.
Variety: Macabeo
Region: Northern Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95

Winery Notes: "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 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 was a very interesting wine for me.  It smelled very grassy, and peppery, with special notes of green pepper and other bell peppers.  It seemed like it would be very bland, however, the taste was very sharp and sour, almost of a lemon.  Overall, it was a good tasting wine, and finished with a very strong citrusy note, which complimented the grassiness of the wine very well.  A good wine that I would definitely try again.
