Region
The warm irrigated Curico Valley, nestled at the foot of the Andes four hours south of Santiago, is a reliable home to fruit growers. Much of Chile`s dependable, good value varietal wine is produced here.
Producer
The Vina La Playa estate occupies some of Colchagua Valley`s most desirable acreage on the western shores of the Tinguiririca river. Comprising 600 acres and a $10 million state of the art winery, this excellent producer is owned by the Sutil family who make superb modern fruit-driven wines from grapes sourced entirely from the estate. Exciting new vineyard development in the coastal Limari Valley, north of Santiago, is starting to produce some outstanding cool climate varietals.
Tasting (Long)
A lemon colour with hints of green, highly aromatic wine with strong notes of citrus fruits and flowers together with subtle yet pleasant touches of fresh grass and ripe pineapples. On the palate, it is fresh and crisp with gooseberry and lime and a long and pleasant finish.
Tasting (Short)
Modern aromatic style Sauvignon Blanc with strong notes of citrus fruits and flowers together with subtle yet pleasant touches of fresh grass and ripe pineapples.
Food
Ideal with fresh shellfish, raw fish, sushi, steam cooked or grilled fish.
