Tarapacá Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileTasting this wine blind would be no easy task. The nose is Kiwi with a fresh, pungent, gooseberry scent but the minerality and dried herbs transport you west to Chile and the super-chilled air of the Leyda Valley. Gooseberries, citrus drenched rinds and fresh cut lemongrass all conspire to grab your attention here. Balance and poised for west coast seafood at a ridiculously cheap price.Tasted: 06 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $21.65 | 750ml | private wine stores |
