Tasting - Castell del Remei Blanc Planell

Name:Castell del Remei Blanc Planell
Variety: 54% Macabeo & 46% Savugnon Blanc
Region: Catalonia
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $9.95

Wine Makers Notes: 89 Points, Wine Enthusiast. Easy, chiseled and refreshing stuff from Catalonia thats 54% Macabeo and 46% Savignon Blanc, by no means a common combo in Spain. Aromas of lime are clean, while the palate locks in on orange and grapefruit flavors with perfect acidity. Delightful salad and appetizer wine. 

Sniffy Sniff: Very light on the aroma, but a clean smell with a hint of lime. There was a slight lemon and grapefruit smell as well.

Slurppy Slurp: At first the only thing i could think was YUCK! It was quite citrusy and tangy like lime and grapefruit combo. It also had some heat on the finish. By the end of the third slurp of this wine it wasn't as bad as I had originally thought.
