2019 Ventisquero Sauvignon Blanc Grey [Glacier] Longomilla Vineyard Single Block, Chile, Valle de Atacama, Wine Review

From the coastal areas of chile, this vineyard is 20km from the Pacific. Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has lemons, lemon rind and slight green peppers. Medium bodied. Slightly viscous. On the palate, lemon candy and lime notes. There is a long, lemony finish. Good acidity. This is nice on its own and will work well with sea food. Grilled Tune would be a nice match. Screwcapped. Drink over the next two to three years.

This is from the coastal region of Chile. Pale silvery/gold in color with some green swirls. The nose has lime, salinity and smoke. A very lovely slightly oily texture. Medium bodied. On the palate, there is an interesting minerality with slight lime and slighter tropical fruits. Some complexity. Moderate acidity. Good finish. This is very nice on its own and very food friendly. Roasted turkey or chicken would be a nice match. Screw capped. While there is some fruit to this, the minerality is the thing that makes it very interesting. Excellent value.

What a fantastic value in Sauvignon Blanc. Made from grapes grown 15km from the Pacific. Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has peaches, grapefruits and salinity. Medium bodied. Light tannins. On the palate, grapefruits with underlying minerality. Peaches come out on the mid-palate. A hint of menthol on the long finish. Light tannins. This is nice on its own but will work well with food too. Shrimp off the grill would be great. Screwcapped.

This is made utilizing organic grapes from a vineyard, Valle Hermoso, just 13km from the ocean. Yellow/silver/gold in color, clear and bright. There is a very expressive nose featuring lemon, lime, lemon verbena, and an almost minty quality. Medium bodied. Dry as a bone. On the palate lots of minerals and herbs with again, nice sort of pepperminty note. Moderate acidity. Nice mouthfeel. This is nice on its own but even better with food. A Quinoa and Roasted Pepper salad would be perfect. Screwcapped. This should drink nicely over the next three to four years.

Another interesting Sauvignon Blanc from coastal chile. This is one of the more "expensive" ones, but even at $25, its is an excellent value. Silvery/ gold in color, with just the slightest bit of cloudiness. Lots on minerality and salinity on the nose with some lime and the slightest note of tropical fruits. Light bodied but concentrated. Slightly oily texture. On the palate, understated grapefruit that gets more pronounced as it moves toward the finish. Also limes and minerality. The is not too dissimilar to many New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs in its price range, but perhaps a bit m

Very nice value for this under $10 per bottle wine. This vintage is getting a bit long in the tooth but I suspect younger vintages are showing much better. Light gold/green in color. The nose has slight tropical fruit and a bit of oxidation. On the palate, this has a nice enough crispness. Fruit is present but faded. Not much depth but still alive and drinking nicely. On a budget, this is worth checking out.
