Tasting - Cresta Azul

Name: Cresta Azul
Variety: Moscatel, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo
Region: Catalunya
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $5.95

Critic Review:  "Moscatel, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo. Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish."

My Review:  This wine smelled nicely of peaches and vanilla.  However, the taste was a little different.  I could taste vanilla, and a little bit of a peaches n' cream taste.  It was not bitter or tart at all, but rather crisp, sweet, and even a little bubbly.  I really enjoyed this wine, probably because it tasted like a Vinho Verde (my favorite type of wine right now), but it didn't have as much punch as a Vinho Verde.

I tasted this wine without food.
