Sauvignon Blanc from Chile, South America: Arboleda Sauvignon Blanc 2008


With the great aromatic intensity typical of a cool-climate wine, this wine shows fresh herb aromas over its fruit. Notes of tomato leaf mingle with fresh green chili (capsicum) and asparagus, all complemented by delicate citrus and mineral traces. On the palate, this is a fresh yet elegant wine with mineral and citrus flavors. The wine has a character that is easy to understand and a pleasure to drink.

Food Match: shellfish, scallops, oysters, Asian cuisine.

A rich sauvignon, this has ripe notes of white peach balanced by juicy, citrusy orange flavors. The finish is long and refreshing. A sauvignon for scallop curry.
