One sip of this Sauvignon Blanc is so compelling that you immediately want another taste. With its classic citrusy/grassy flavors, roundness on the palate and savory finish this is a Sauvignon Blanc that is anything but boring. The wine’s freshness and juicy persistence make it a tasty aperitif wine and/or partner for seafood, salads, lentil loaf and other grain-based foods. The Montes winery, which was born in Chile in the late 1980s, is an impressive modern estate (its 800 French oak barrels are themselves impressive). The region’s relatively cool climate plus the it’s clay and granite soils play a major role in the fruit’s development and flavors.
