Dry, herbal aromas mix with a light cherry perfume and lemon peel. The palate is a bit sharp but it’s clean and fresh, with dry, crisp cherry flavors mixing with hints of coffee and black pepper. Finishes light and dry; a tapas wine for sure.

Spice and leather aromas are positive while the smells of burnt leaves and green herbs aren’t too appealing. The palate is big and wide with a mix of cherry cough drop, plum and burnt coffee flavors. And the finish evaporates fast, leaving heat and medicinal notes.

This Macabeo (Viura) blend is neutral on the nose but fairly big and bulky on the palate. Flavors of lemon-lime and banana are spritzy at first and then stickier late. The rest of the composition (Macabeo and Parellada) dictates that the flavors will be short; but what’s on display is nice and creamy.

Sometimes concept exceeds the wine itself, and this may be a case in point. The blend is odd, and the fact that each grape comes from a different part of Spain is potentially more odd. As for the wine, it has a nice perfume to it, courtesy of the Rhone varieties in the mix. And while the cherry/berry fruit is forward, it’s maybe too sweet and basic in terms of length, structure and mouthfeel. Still, it’s worth a try for the experimental tasters out there.
