Tasting Notes
This Chilean Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderful expression of fresh bright fruit, treated with care the fruit is harvested at night when it is coolest, fermented at cool temperatures in steel to preserve fresh fruit characters. It has a bright greenish yellow on appearance with lovely zesty citrus notes on the nose. The palate is well-rounded with fresh acidity to carry the lovely notes of apple, lemon and hint of grass.
Food
As an aperitif, with fresh and/or raw fish, salads and seafood.
