Despite the snow and black ice that was around today we braved a trip to a friend's house on the other side of Reading for some mulled wine and mince pies. In the evening my wife and I decided to settle in for the rest of the cold night and watch a movie. To accompany the film I decided to open a bottle of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc.
Anakena, Limited Edition, Single Vineyard, Sauvignon Blanc, 2006, Casablanca Valley, Chile.
The nose is full of passionfruit, fresh lime and bell peppers. There is a herbal edge and hints of cumin. The cumin is not bad....just bizarre! The wine smells fresh and zingy. It smells clean. Great crisp acidity, steely minerality, good balance and length. The passionfruit and especially the lime carry over onto the palate. This would be a lovely summer BBQ wine. Great wine. 4.2/5 (14% abv)
