Errazuriz Sauvignon Blanc Late Harvest 2007

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileI'm thinking it is the 15 per cent gewürztraminer in the blend that pulls this late harvest sauvignon out of the realm of the ordinary. Expect a fairly crisp wine with aromatic floral/citrus notes and ripe apricot honey, egg yolk and mineral flavours and a refreshing finish. Light and elegant you can serve this solo or with fresh fruit. Interestingly some of the grapes are dehydrated, others frozen while a portion is fermented in used French barrels; another part is kept sur-lie in tank. Good value and it won the LH category at the 2010 IVWA.Tasted: 04 October 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
