Caliterra Tributo Sauvignon Blanc Single Vineyard Block Vignoble Algarrobo 2011

Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileSingle vineyard Leyda sauvignon could make you think you were in Marlborough for a moment with its pungent gooseberry/peppery nose. Proximity to the cool Pacific Ocean shapes this wine's cool demeanour while three pickings ten days apart build a complex flavour spectrum of grapefruit, lime rind and stony minerality. No oak is used here. Try this with classic Alsace-style onion pie, or halibut with a fruit salsa.Tasted: 01 October 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
