This is the last of four wines by Oveja Negra that I am writing about. And it's made from two of my favorite varietals; Chardonnay(82%) and Viognier(18%).

The first thing that you get from this wine is the actual aroma, which is very pleasant and floral, but also giving you a whiff of something between peach and pineapple Jolly Ranchers. And that's where the taste somewhere lies; it's not too pronounced and not too sublime, but just right there. The finish is smooth and nothing about this wine is too much in one direction or another.

As they wrote, this wine is perfect for seafood, especially fish that has been given herbs instead of spices. This would be perfect with something seasoned with lemon and dill, or even sage or thyme.
