Santa Carolina Sauvignon Blanc Reserva

90 Points - James Suckling - "Bright, fresh and attractive limes and lemons. Peaches, too. The palate has a very fresh and smoothly delivered, modern, fruity feel." This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from our vineyards in the Leyda Valley. Cool sea breezes from the Pacific Ocean blow through this newly discovered wine region to counter-balance its otherwise dry climate. Its rolling hillsides are as close as 5 km (3 mi.) from the salty waters, and it is separated by the Coastal Range in the west, which leaves it isolated and makes it a unique place for viticulture. The cool conditions and long ripening periods make it an ideal place for Sauvignon Blanc, yielding wines with crisp and lean acidity.
