Description
As Marlborough is to New Zealand and Sancerre to France, so Chile's Casablanca Valley has established itself as a haven for gloriously concentrated, top-flight Sauvignon.
Blessed with warm sun and cool Pacific breezes, this seaside gem of a 'terroir' is Chile's most talked-about wine region. Vineyards here come under the influence of the Humboldt current, bringing cold nights and morning mists, followed by the heat of the Chilean sun. That's the perfect environment for wonderfully intense, ripe grapes. You'd pay double for such quality from NZ or France!
This Sauvignon is brimming with succulent citrus fruit flavours, building to a tongue-tingling, mineral-edged finish. A truly mouthwatering white and an ideal partner for pan-fried fish, seared scallops and lunchtime salads … or a very elegant apéritif.
