Variety - Verdejo
Region - La Monacha

Wine Critic Review - Beverage Tasting Institute - 90 points
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 smelled like honey and lime with a sweet apple hint. I thought it tasted very similar - like a sweet apple pie, more fall fruits than tropical fruits on the palate and nose. I did not try this wine with food.
