Food? No
Review from The Vintage Cellar: Fresh and juicy, with fresh-cut apple and
gooseberry flavors that feature notes of citrus and light spice on the finish. The name “Lagosta” means “lobster,” and this would be a great seafood
accompaniment.
My Review: This wine has a fruity nose, but the taste caught me off guard. I detected a lot of acidity and a hint of a metallic taste, perhaps the wine was aged in stainless steel barrels. The bright smell did not convey into the taste of the wine, I would pass on it if it were offered to me again.
