Tasting - El Cortijillo

Name: El Cortijillo
Variety: 100% Verdejo
Region:  La Mancha, Spain
Country: Spain
Year: 2015
Price: $4.95

Winery Review:  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 verdejo wine was the very first wine I tried at any tasting, ever.  Prior to taking a sip the wine had a fairly non-intrusive smell that I'm not yet able to identify.  The wine itself was served cool and had a dry taste to it.  After the initial taste I immediately sensed a citrus kick to it.  I'm personally not a fan of white wines and this wine didn't do anything substantial to change my view of that.
