Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There’s a reason Airén is used as a base grape for brandy and Sherry wines, and it’s because it’s not up to table-wine quality, even at the value price point. This wine is corny and lacks freshness. It’s dull, wayward and offers little to no structure. Barely drinkable.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Airén is a big-crop white grape that is usually distilled into brandy or made into Sherry. But here we see it as a dry white table wine, and while it is limited in scope, the wine’s punch-bowl approach and cleansing lime and kiwi flavors are decent.
