Tasting: Protocolo Vino de la Tierra de Castilla


Name: Protocolo Vino de la Tierra de Castilla
Variety: Airen and Macabeo
Region: Castilla
Country: Spain
Year: Unknown
Price: $6.95

Winery Review: “Mostly Airen with a little bit of Macabeo. Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon, and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.”

Personal Review: This wine had a sweet honeysuckle smell to it that was really refreshing. The aroma instantly reminded me of a warm spring day when the honeysuckle starts blooming and there’s a warm breeze blowing. It had a very refreshing taste to it. This wine tasted very fresh and clean. I would probably classify it as a semi-sweet wine, as it did dry out my mouth slightly but wasn’t overpoweringly sweet. I did not have this wine with food, but I would try it again with a meal.
