Name: Protocolo White
Variety: 90% Arin, 10% Macabeo
Region: Tierra de Castilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $6.95
Food? No

Description from the Vintage Cellar: "Pale yellow. High-pitched aromas of lemon zest and white flowers, with a piquant mineral overtone. Dry, racy and focused, offering tangy lemon zest and green apple flavors and a touch of bitter herbs. Closes with good clarity and cut, leaving a tart citrus fruit note behind. This is pretty grown-up for the price, not to mention a superb value."

My Review: This wine was fantastic! I loved the white flower/honeysuckle notes in both the nose and palate. The minerality was crisp and refreshing, and the wine was nicely balanced. I would love to have this again.
