Tarapacá Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Valle del Maipo, Region del Valle Central, ChileThe 2011 GR sauvignon comes from the Leyda Valley a mere seven kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. The latest effort is fresh more austere, more Leyda. The style is pungent with intense lemongrass, dried herbs, more racy food friendly and dry. Impressive white wine from Chile selling at a great price. Winemaker Ed Flaherty says the grapes are hand harvested (50% whole cluster pressed and 50% cold macerated before pressing). Up to 95 percent of the lots are fermented cold (10ºC - 14ºC) in stainless steel tanks - only a small percentage is fermented in used French oak barrels.Tasted: 19 March 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $21.65 | 750ml | Everything Wine |
