Tasting: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay

Name: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay
Variety: Macabeo/Chardonnay

Region: Valencia
Country: Spain
Year: 2012
Price: $6.95
Shop review: "Incredibly welcoming, fresh appetizing aroma with ripe tropical fruits. The flavor is rich, balanced and extremely comfortable.  The near-perfect all-purpose white wine. As an additional benefit, the good evidence that El Sierro reflect the new Spain, the bottle is sealed with the technical viewed perfect screw cap that at one eliminates any risk of cork flavor and keeps the fruit and wine fresher for longer time." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: El Sierro Macabeo/Chardonnay poured clear in the glass.  Aromas of honey, tart apples, and cinnamon came through on the nose.  Flavors of tart apples also appeared on the palate with a dry, tart finish.  I was not the biggest fan of this blend.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
