Tasting- Protocolo Vino de la Tierra de Castilla

Name: Protocolo Vino de la Tierra de Castilla
Variety: Airen/Macabeo Blend
Region: Castilla
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $7

Winery review: Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.

My review: This wine smelled like lemon grass. It tasted like sweet tarts. The finish was high in acidity and was extremely sour. My mouth puckers just thinking about it! This wine would be better with food but for a casual drink, it is a definite pass.

I tried this wine without food.
