Tasting Notes
Chile is gaining an enviable reputation for top-quality Sauvignon Blanc, and this is a glorious example from north of Santiago in the Elqui Valley-The altitude and cool mountain air currents result in a wine with fresh citrus scents and lots of zingy gooseberry flavours- Try pairing it with grilled white fish seasoned with dill and lemon.
- Medium Dry

I liked this wine....it's crisp and dry and not acidic (which I find is quite often the case with other Sauvignon Blancs). Went really well with a swiftly pan-fried sea bass fillet, squeezed the bottle dry. Very tasty and excellent value from Tesco.
