Tasting - Cresta Azul

Name: Cresta Azul
Variety: Moscatel, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo blend
Region: Emporda
Country: Spain
Year: NV
Price: $5.95
Review: 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 had a very strong, almost cloyingly sweet smell with overtones of spice to it. It had a tart bite to it that wasn't unpleasant along with a decidedly sweet flavor - I unfortunately couldn't place what exactly I thought it tasted like.

Food? I did not have this wine with food.
