2007 Quintay Clava Sauvignon Blanc, Casablanca Valley, Chile

From three independent enclaves in the cool Casablanca Valley, this is a fine demonstration of the blending ability of master craftsman, Alvaro Espinoza, one of Chile's greatest, certainly most acclaimed, winemakers. With 40% of the blend having been stirred on its lees and a minute percentage having been exposed to barrel ageing, this is an incredibly complex Sauvignon Blanc. The citric and the tropical are harmoniously married, the acidity is fresh and clean and the French yeast seems to have lent a flinty stone-fruit charm that recalls some of the finer vineyards of the Loire Valley.
