Natalie's Score: 93/100

Great freshness on the nose of this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. Small production this vintage of just 500 cases. Voluptuous and food-friendly. No fruity-tuity wine, as winemaker Grant Phelps likes to say. More saline, smoke and grapefruit. Pair with seafood.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

This is a small production Sauvignon Blanc, unfortunately not available in Canada (maybe someday?). Beautiful warm notes of apple, pear, and warm spices, with a great lemon-lime finish. Nice body and texture. Perfect for seafood, and cream sauces.
Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The winemaker describes this extra-dry SB as being all about spice and texture. There's lots of asparagus and grassy notes on the nose and palate, along with herbal touches. Made from 30% of grapes grown on soils with high concentration of clay, called "Gredas Negras", with other 70% from grapes grown on granitic rock. Results in slow-growing vines with very concentrated bunches.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
