Tasting #1 La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting #1 La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc

Name: La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc
Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Central Valley, Chile
Year: 2015
Price: $10

Winery review: Aromas of green apple and citrus are as classic as it gets for Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight forward but enjoyable, with modest minerality. Flavors of citrus and gooseberry carry over onto a refreshing finish.

Personal review: Modest is a very accurate way to describe this Sauvignon blanc. It was very light bodied with a green apple nose and a citrusy, but smooth finish. The stainless steel fermentation process was very apparent due to the light, smooth, crisp finish.  There was a slight hint of acidity, however it was not to overwhelming because of how light bodied it was. During the tasting, this wine was not paired with any food. I would pair this with grilled fish, shrimp, or calamari.
