Vina Litoral Ventolera Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileYear two at Vina Litoral and winemaker Ignacio Recabarren is on a role. Grassy, green apple skin, grapefruit, nettle, bell pepper and spicy, floral aromas mark this white made from 4 different clones harvested at different maturities. The entry is ripe but with finesse and a touch of oiliness. The flavours mix nettle, bell pepper, pepper, gooseberry and grapefruit rind with bits of butter and honey. Crisp, round finish. Excellent intensity and fine new 'Leyda' style.Tasted: 27 May 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $19.99 | 750ml | specialty listing |
