Food Matching Note:
Complements full flavoured fish like salmon or trout poached in white wine, grilled swordfish with rosemary-white wine sauce or even heavier dishes such as crisp-skinned duck with mock mandarin pancakes. Very versatile.
Tasting Note:
Clear and bright in the glass with an aromatic nose that offers herbaceous characters alongside gooseberry, lychee and lemon aromas. The palate is dry, medium bodied and clean as a whistle as the grassy, lemon lime flavours are encouraged with a crisp structure that makes for a dangerously easy drinking, refreshing wine.
Grape:
Made from Sauvignon Blanc, Chile's most widely planted white grape.
Location:
From the Curicó (meaning Black Waters), Valley in Chile.
Flavour:
Medium bodied with fresh gooseberry, pineapple and citrus flavours.
USP:
The perfect wine for Sauvignon Blanc enthusiasts wishing to try something different.
Combined:
A very easy to drink resfreshing and fruity Sauvignon, from Chile's most widely planted white grape variety.
Vinification Note:
Grapes were handpicked in the morning and kept cool until pressing to conserve the fresh fruit. The free-run juice was kept separate from the press to preserve the highest quality achievable. The must was fermented at low temperatures of 12º C in stainless steel for approximately 15 days. Filtered and fined before bottling.
