Ventolera Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Ventolera Sauvignon Blanc 2016 is a worthy rival for any Sauvignon produced in New Zealand's Marlborough region. With an intense nettle, gooseberry and mineral nose, this wine has fine, serious weight on the palate and is consequently longer lived than most New World Sauvignons.
Ignacio Reccabarren is the godfather of modern winemaking in Chile and he has started a joint venture with cool climate grape grower, Vicente Izquierdo, in the trendy cool climate region of Leyda, just 6 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The salty sea breezes help to produce wonderfully aromatic and zesty wines.
