Casa Silva Doña Dominga Sauvignon Blanc Semillon Single Vineyard La Hijuela 2011
Valle del Colchagua, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, ChileNot sure how a vineyard in planted in 1912 can be involved in a $13 wine but these all-original, pre-phylloxera plants, by way of Bordeaux, more than over deliver. The blend is not only balanced but bright with melon, mango and guava flavours with flecks of grass. The blend is 50/50 sauvignon sémillon from the La Hijuela Vineyard in Colchagua. Yields are an amazingly low 30 hectolitres per hectare and its all stainless steel ferment.
