Clear pale lemon-green in color, this Spanish blend consists of Moscato, Viura and Verdejo. It opens with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, lime in particular, with hints of floral blossoms. Fruity with a pleasant acidity, its semi sweet nature and medium body make it a delightful combination with Spanish tapas made with white fish or dessert.

Taste:
Aromas reminiscent of citrus and tropical fruits along with floral blossoms begin your journey. In the mouth, it boasts a palate of sweet tropical fruits ominated by lime with a pleasant acidity.

The wine underwent “sur lie” aging for two months meaning that it rested on the “lees”, yeast cells remaining after fermentation. This gives the wine additional complexity.
Varietal:
50% Moscato, 40% Viura, 10% Verdejo
I was sick of drinking the same old, same old riesling, etc. and was happy to taste this one at my wine tasting. Not too sweet, just right! Loved that it was from Spain and a great “girly” label!
Too sweet and too much pear for my taste.
If you like sweet wine that is NOT over the top sweet this is it! Perfectly blended to suit many taste buds. I never order less than 6 bottles at a time, it just goes too fast!
Wonderful wine!
loved it!
The best word I can use to adequately describe this wine is “lovely.” Although I do like Moscato, now that I have tasted this blend of moscato, viura and verdejo varietals I’m hooked!!!!! It is a huge hit at my tastings and personally, it is my favorite of our dessert wines.
This wine is a perfect combination! It is sweet, but not shockingly sweet, amd had the “zing” of a nice glass of wine! Perfect bottle to share with friends!
Great taste and great with fish. I ordered three and will order again when I use them up.
