Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

This was a refreshing Sauve Blanc from Chile. Pale lemon-green colour. Some interesting aromas here of tropical fruit, guava, pineapple and honeydew. Lemon, white grapefruit, stoney graphite notes, nectarine and lots of herbaceous green notes - green celery leaf, bay and tomato leaf. Flavours consist of lemon, peach, green tomatoes, gooseberry and a little bit of cats pee with a few herbal touches.Acidity M+ with and equal M body and finish. Pair with grilled herbal chicken, dill stuffed whitefish and rosemary pork. 85 points - November 2017
Jon Steeves rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Fresh and mouthwatering. Big dry minerality, tart and tangy. Lime zest, grapefruit, limestone. Tasted 2016 vintage in Nov 2017. A real Crowd pleaser. Accessibly priced. Buy by the case. 88 points.
Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Grassy and gooseberry nose with crisp and sour tastes of grapefruit rind and lime on the palette. A classic Sauv Blanc that could paired with goat cheese, seafood dishes.

Simon Chen reviewed this wine as follows:

Sauv Blanc from a well-known producer, Torres, from Spain. Although spain is not known to produce sauv blanch, this one is grassy and has good acidity. Very textbook sauv blanc that's at a decent price.
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This wine is all capsicum and citrus. Very clean and fresh. A good Summer sipper. (www.ottawawinejournal.com)

Nose: loaded with green herbal notes, grapefruit, lemon, lime
Palate: zesty citrus notes, gorgeous minerality, slightly effervescent mouthfeel from the refreshing high acidity, light bodied
Serve with garlicky Caesar salads, vinegrette based salads, oysters or simple white fish, tangy goat cheeses
