VC Review: Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.
My notes: I was taken by this wine from its bouquet. Right off the bat, I could detect honeysuckle, one of those nostalgic scents that I love. That and the ripe berry fruit scent gives this wine a marvelous nose. This is definitely a sweet wine, which fits with the nose. But I think that the sweetness is nicely balanced with the crispness of the acidity and the fruit flavors. Overall, a really nice showing for Cresta Azul (because I know so much about this label).
Food: n/a
