Tasting - Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc Alba

Name: Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc Alba

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Region: Valle Central

Country: Chile

Year: 2013

Price: $9 (retail)


Winery review: Our Santa Luz Sauvignon Blanc has pure fruit and a crisp palate with notes of herb and lemon curd culminating in a lively finish.  It is great by its own or paired with oyster, salads and smoked salmon.


My review: Aromatic, fruity, and grassy on the nose. It tastes somewhat dry with floral and lemon peel themes and it is light in body.  There are also hints of ammonia.  It has a nice balance of low acidity and dryness.  I think this wine would go well with salads and seafood (grilled shrimp, tilapia, etc.).  A bit of aged white cheddar cheese also goes well with it.     

I had this wine with white cheddar cheese.
