| TASTING NOTE: Despite coming from especially hot 2017, this wine is wonderfully fresh. Bold and full-bodied, it is quite herbal and is bursting with fruity, acidic flavours. It's a real revelation this year, and the price is ridiculously low, too. This sauvignon is a clonal blend, the most important being 297, a second-generation clone made from materials that were brought to Chile in the late 1990s. This particular variety was planted in 2001 on the hillside terrain and plateaus of the Loma Larga region, in the coolest part of the valley. Score - 93 (Patricio Tapia, Descorchados Wine Guide, 2018) |
