Marqués de Cáceres 2007 Satinela Medium-Sweet White (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Satinela Medium-Sweet
Variety: White Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Marqués de Cáceres / Rioja

If you catch this wine young and properly chilled, it isn’t that bad. It’s very sweet and sugary, with candied melon, mango and citrus flavors. Then it gets more tropical on the finish, with ending notes of banana and mango. On the verge of tasting fake but not quite.
