Reviews and Ratings

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A blend of Garnacha Blanca and Chardonnay. On the nose a bouquet in full bloom. Lime citrus, nectarine, grapefruit, grass and a petrol note. This could almost be mistaken for a riesling! On the palate, crisp citrus lemon lime echoed with metallic, nectarine, cucumber, bay leaf, cedar and peach. High acidity, medium plus body, medium plus finish with a dry crisp petrol finish. Bright and beaming, definitely worth trying. Pair with dill crusted white fish, seared scallops and soft cheeses. Will also accompany pork tenderloin and light fowl.
Rachelle O'Connor rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Made from 100% Grenache Blanc which is widely planted in Northeastern Spain and in this case, Carinena. This white wine is full bodied with lovely aromas of orchard pear, melon, apricot, green apple and floral. There is a hint of nuttiness on the mid palate with a well rounded mouthfeel and a lengthy finish.
Eamonn Donnelly reviewed this wine as follows:

Big and rich - ripe orchard fruit on the nose. Apricot, aromatic yellow apple, banana custard with hints of melon. Slightly warming mid palate. Medium + body with a pleasant seam of acidity. Good length and densely textured. Notes of apricot, tart apple and pithy citrus bitterness on the finish.
Corona De Aragón (2016) is made with 100% Garnacha Blanca from the Cariñena wine region. - Community Wine Reviews

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
