Tasting: El Cortijillo Verdejo

Name: El Cortijillo Verdejo
Region/Country: La Monacha, Spain
Year: 2014
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: Golden straw color. Bright, attractive, tropical aromas of crème brûlée and fruit tart with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, intriguing, snappy lime and apple finish with crunchy, fruit tannins and light oak. A super smooth and pure white sipper. 90 points-- Beverage Testing Institute. 

My Review: The color of the wine was a nice golden yellow. I thought it smelt smokey and alcoholic. I was not a fan of this wine because of how dry it was and the clash of the flavors. The after taste left me cringing; being both bitter and dry was not appealing at all. I did not have food with this wine.
