Tasting - Tarima Blanco 2013

Name: Tarima Blanco 2013
Variety: 70% mereseguera, 20% viura and 10% moscatel
Region: Alicante
Country: Spain
Year: 2013
Price: $8.95

Winery Review: "(70% mereseguera, 20% viura and 10% moscatel):  Light yellow.  Perfumed aromas of Meyer lemon, melon and white flowers show good clarity and a hint of ginger.  Juicy, open-knit citrus fruit and peach flavors are firmed by a zesty mineral quality and a touch of white pepper. The melon note repeats on the clinging but slightly warm finish."

My Review: On the nose this wine was very open. It smelled tropical, citrusy, and like a nice ripe pear. On the palate this wine was surprising! It tasted nothing like it smelled. It was overwhelmingly sour and acidic. So much that I couldn't taste much else except maybe a hint of lemon. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
