Haras de Pirque 2006 Estate Sauvignon Blanc (Maipo Valley)

Country: Chile / Estate
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Maipo Valley
Winery: Haras de Pirque /

Normally the Maipo Valley produces warm, dull Sauvignon Blancs. But this one has more kick and purity of fruit than most. The nose delivers tropical and melon aromas, while the palate is packed with lime, citrus and grapefruit flavors. It’s on the big side and a little clingy on the finish, but mostly it gets things right.
