From the region Penedès close to Barcelona we find this fruity medium-sweet wine called René Barbier Vina Augusta, made from the grapes Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo and Moscatell. The level of sweetness is 33 g/l, and alcohol 12 %.

The level of acidity is medium and the flavours on the nose is fruity with yellow apples, white peaches and melon. On the palate the flavours are similar with a sweet touch and apples, peaches, nectarine and melon. It has medium body and finish.

I give this wine, which has nr 2670 at Systembolaget, 81 points. Is is worth its price of 43 SEK (375 ml) and is well-balanced and gives an exotic touch! Combine it with desserts, white chocolate or even your favorite blue cheese 🙂
