Domaines Barons de Rothschild Lafite
Los Vascos Valle de Colchagua Sauvignon Blanc
Colchagua Valley, Rapel Valley, Central Valley, Chile
Very grassy and somewhat floral nose, not sure the flower, maybe even a little pine needle or green, hard fruit. The palate is very light surprisingly, with equally vegetal and grassy notes throughout, with a dry finish, slight minerality but very fresh. Almost hints of sour green apple candy in there but def not the sweetness, with a nicely integrated acidity. This is definitely not a typical sav blanc, and any New Zealand or Aussie lover will balk probably, but I honestly prefer this.
