Wine Review: This light yellow colored white wine has tiny bubbles when initially poured. But it is not a sparkling wine. It opens with a mild wet stone and faint pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and viscous. The flavor profile is a mild mineral infused lime with hints of green apple, tangerine and ginger ale. The finish is dry and its flavors and minerality are nicely prolonged and refreshing. This wine would pair with swordfish skewers off the grill. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: (Cert. Organic) Parellada (locally, Montonec), Macabeo, Chardonnay, and a touch of Malvasía de Sitges. Parellada at its best, from high-altitude, gravelly mountain soils: intense lemon-oil aroma with firm acid structure enhanced by the rare, glyceric Malvasía. Stony and aromatic, reminiscent of France's Chablis or Rheingau.
