Montes Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13.5%)

A Chilean Sauvignon Blanc from the Aconcagua Costa region, made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards sit about nine miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, where cold, cloudy mornings and warm, sunny afternoons preserve bright acidity and allow full aromatic development. The nose shows lime zest, grapefruit peel, pineapple, passion fruit, orange blossom, green chili and flinty mineral. The palate is juicy and bright with pineapple and lime, then white pepper, saline, passion fruit and peach. The finish is crisp and medium in length, with green herb, distant citrus and mineral salinity.
