Tasting - "Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc"


Name: Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Valle Central
 

Country: Chile

Year: 2013

Regular Price: $11

Sale Price: $6.95






Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:


Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish and ceviche.

Personal Tasting Notes:

I tried this wine without food. It had a very light almost clear color and the leafy citrus aroma.  The wine was a smooth and semi-sweet on the palate.  This wine was a bit dry however, I do believe that this would go well with shellfish.  I did not detect the flavor of honeydew but perhaps a bit of lime and lemons.
