Errazuriz Max Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13.5%)

Errazuriz Max Sauvignon Blanc is a Chilean white wine from Aconcagua Costa, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes come from granitic hillside vineyards less than 30 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, where Pacific breezes and early morning fog create a cool microclimate. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius over 15 to 20 days. The nose shows lemon zest, green apple, tangerine peel, tomato leaf, fresh herbs, green chili, mineral notes and gooseberry. The palate is broad and citrus-driven, with green apple, lemon, pineapple, green mango and young peach, plus a taut, mineral-inflected texture. The finish is medium in length, with zingy acidity and citrus and pithy mineral notes.
