Tasting- El Cortijillo Verdejo 2014

Name:  El Cortijillo 
Variety:   Verdejo 
Region: La Monacha
Country: Spain
Year: 2014

Winery Review: 90 Points – Beverage Testing Institute
"Golden straw color. Bright, attractive, tropical aromas of creme brulee 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. 

My Review: This wine had a pear and apple aroma to it. On the palate, it was a little too tart for my liking. I did pick up on the little oak that it had as well. It also had a lingering aftertaste the I did not care for.
