The 2012 Auzells is an unoaked, multi-grape blend of Macabeo, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Chardonnay, Albarino, Muller Thurgau and Muscat. It has a fruit-driven nose with citric aromas of lemon meringue, yeasts, pollen, wax and fennel, fresh and aromatic, quite complex if you ask me, with a light palate with good acidity and clean and persistent flavors. Drink now.
Tomas Cusine produces a whole range of whites and reds in the Costers del Segre appellation as well as other wines in Conca de Barbera and Catalunya. A prolific, reliable name.
