VILARNAU |
This REPEAT crowd-pleaser was assessed from a new bottle just purchased at the LCBO. Bright light straw colour with streams of tiny bubbles. Fairly intense, fresh, slightly spicy, attractive, floral, ripe, apple-melon-pear-lemon fruit on the nose. Fairly dry, medium bodied, well balanced, slightly spicy, fresh, harmonious, ripe, lemon-melon-pear-apple fruit flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp, mineral-tinged, effervescent finish. Aged over 15 months in the bottle on lees, this tasty, ready-to-drink, organic NEW blend of 50% Macabeo, 35% Parellada and 15% Xarel.lo has 11.5% alcohol, 10 g/L residual sugar and 5.7 g/L total acidity with a new lot number 160623-L23167221E on the back label. |

TASTING NOTE: This wine is a lively blend of Macabeo, Parellada and Chardonnay sourced from sites in the highest, windiest part of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia. It's bright and fruity, with lemon, melon, apple, gentle spices and herbs. Utterly appealing and enjoyable. |
