Tasting - Santa Luz 'Alba' Sauvignon Blanc 2013


Name: Santa Luz 'Alba' Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2013
Price: $11

Winery Review: Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, seas foam, and mineralogy. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime, and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish, and ceviche.

My Review: On the nose, I picked up floral scents and some citrus.  On the mouth, there were definitely hints of lemongrass that gave this wine a bit of zest.  It had a smooth taste for most of the tasting but seemed to become more acidic at the end of the wine.  

I did not have any food with this wine.
