Winery Review:
Let yourself get caught up in the reverie of Manina, with delicate notes of pineapple, mango, and grapefruit. Light in style, this wine whisks one's senses into a state of splendor, abundant with crisp citrus fruit flavors.
My Review:
Manina Manina. This wine hails from South America, and adorns a classic vintage label. From the shelves, it had that classic modern appeal with a filigree of gold foil print, which is why I am sure my roommate picked it out. Initially, the wine had a bright and crisp citrus scent that seemed very promising. Upon tasting however, the bright scents that I had detected earlier seemed to bite back with a harsh acidic sensation. I was definitely able to pick up on the grapefruit and possibly pineapple flavors, which was exciting. While I am usually a fan of white wines, this particular white was a little too dry and acidic for my taste. I am not usually a fan of mango, so it is possible that the harsh flavor that I did not enjoy was the mango. While I will probably not personally buy this particular wine again, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys very dry whites with tropical fruit flavors.
