Indomita Arte Reserve Casablanca Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Indomita Arte Reserve Casablanca Sauvignon Blanc 2011

  • Trust that the utmost care is taken in the vineyard to ensure everything is done to highest standards - the fruit is hand-picked in the early morning to ensure the preservation of the intense flavours.
  • This wine shows why Sauvignon producers from Sancerre to Marlborough are quaking in their boots as the potential of the Casablanca Valley is unfurling!
  • Get the most out of it by serving chilled alongside seafood and poultry dishes.

Wine is made from grapes and there's a simple saying - 'you can't make exceptional wines from bad grapes'. Exactly why only estate grown fruit goes into this release from one of Chile's rising stars - Indomita. You'll find them in the Casablanca Valley and this Sauvignon Blanc demonstrates why this cool area has the ability to produce some of Chile's finest white wines.

Proximity to the ocean is the key: it ensures cooling morning fogs and brisk afternoon sea breezes, which extend the growing season, allow the grapes time to develop complex flavours and aromas as well as preserving the refreshing acidity that is necessary for a balanced wine.

Les Hauts de L'Olivier Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Les Hauts de L'Olivier Sauvignon Blanc French White Wine

Type: Sauvignon Blanc

Packed full of juicy fruit and needs to be enjoyed al fresco. These grapes were selected from a vineyard that lies near Pézenas, half an hour from the sea, upon a vineyard anomalous in that it contains an unusually high chalk content. This is marvellous, some would say essential, for making classy aromatic Sauvignon. A classy bargain.
