Tasting - Cresta Azul

Name: Cresta Azul
Variety: White Blend (Moscatel, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo)
Region: Emporda
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $5.95

The Vintage Cellar's Review: "Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish."

My Review: This wine was very light, sweet, and citrusy on the nose, with just a hint of vanilla that added some warmth. I felt that the features of the bouquet translated nicely to the palate, exhibiting sweetness and creaminess.  A very smooth finish with hints of lemon and peach throughout.

This wine was tasted without food.
