Ripe, lively and delicious with lots of black cherry, raspberry and red currant, liquorice and spice that dance on your palate, bright acidity and a vibrant minerality. Hard not to have another glass.
Clear, pale lemon-pulp yellow. Nose has good Chardonnay typicity, with apple aromas and butter/bee’s wax from the malolactic fermentation. Medium-bodied and nicely balanced, it shows pineapple and mild pear custard flavours. Ready to drink.
Grassy green fruit and aromatic intensity, together with a hint of mineral. Fresh grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours with refreshingly clean acidity.
Raspberry, blackberry, green herb and a note of peppery spice on the nose, with flavours of rich ripe berry, dark chocolate and contrasting dry tannins on the palate. Well-integrated fruit, chocolate, spice and drying tannins on the finish.
The nose picks up telltale triggers: Cab Sauv cassis, Carménère smokiness, Colchagua chocolate notes. The palate welcomes a balance of firm tannins and earthy flavours of leather, tobacco and persistent cedar on the finish. Red berry-fruit pops out when paired with marinated grilled meats.
This organically grown SB offers supreme value! It possesses a pale straw colour with a silver lining. Aromatic, the grapefruit, tropical fruit, honey, white flowers, lime and guava meet up with a palate full of fruit salad, citrus and herbs. The finish is long and tangy. Don’t be shy — buy a couple of bottles for everyday sipping or your next dinner party.
Ocean-breezed Leyda Valley grabs attention with its lively, tangy, herbal style, as does this remarkable price. High-toned aromas of pea shoots, fresh grass and lemon preface intensely flavoured gooseberry, citrus salad and lingering pineapple. Clean, crisp finish begs another sip. Sings with ceviche.
