Torres Vina Esmeralda 2012

Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThe 2012 reminds of the delicious 2006. The Upper Penedès white is the usual 85/15 mix of moscatel/gewürztraminer but the aromas are just that much brighter with an intense spicy, floral, lemon oil (Alsace) character with some mineral notes too. The flavours match the nose with green apple, lemon lime and litchi fruit. Fresh delicate, juicy, ripe and all under screwcap. Food friendly and a versatile sushi wine.Tasted: 26 August 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
