Errázuriz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Casablanca Valley

Made with grapes picked very late in the season influenced significantly by Botrytis which has concentrated the sugars, acids and flavours in the grapes to create a pleasing character that recalls honey, raisins, and dried apricots. The wine includes some Viognier and Gewürztraminer and part of the must was fermented in second-use French oak barrels which contributes tremendous texture and volume on the palate. About 40% of the wine is aged in French oak for seven months.

Expression

Refreshing, racy, medium-sweet wines

Sweetish, racy whites are good with some semi-soft, pungent cheeses.
Refreshing medium-sweet wines will work really well with a surprisingly wide range of seafood and fish dishes.
This style of wine also works well with light Asian dishes with sweet ingredients such as palm sugar.
Great with the dessert course, there is little to beat them paired with desserts based on fresh fruits, or that are light and delicate, just as long as the wine is at least as sweet as the dessert.

About the Wine

Sauvignon Blanc

So-veen-yawn BlahN

Sauvignon has boomed in recent years. Its crisp acidity makes it a popular choice as an aperitif or with food. It's an aromatic variety, enjoyed when young, and mostly un-oaked. Produced in a variety of methods in the Old and New World resulting in a light and minerally style to more tropical flavours.

Flavours:

Gooseberry
Green Peppercorn
Honeydew Melon
Lime
Passion Fruit

Viognier

Vee-ohn-yay

Viognier produces aromatic and sometimes exotic wines, it may be thought of as a variety that offers some the approachable rich body nature of a Chardonnay, but with a more aromatic fruity character of peach and apricot. Now widely planted, almost always dry in style.

Flavours:

Apricot
Ginger
Honeysuckle
Lime
Peach

The Country

Chile

A viticultural paradise, where vines were introduced by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. A long, narrow country stretching 800 miles from the deserts of the north to the glacial south and it's these valleys and coasts that give the wine its variety.
