White Wines
Sauvignon Blanc & Carmenere (Oops)
Sauvignon Blanc is the rising star varietal from Chile, and this wine shows what all the buzz is about. Light gold in color with a hint of green, the nose is expressive, varietal, and complex, with lemon and lime zest, green apple, green chile, mineral, and floral aromas. A small percentage of Carmenère adds a layer of dried herbs and white pepper. On the palate, the wine is fresh, with perfect natural acidity, medium body, and a long, persistent finish.
Known as the "Cheeky little white", a wonderful blend of Sauvignon Blanc & Carmnere.
