Alta Tierra Sauvignon Blanc Reserva 2015

For mouthwateringly fresh, thrilling Sauvignon, Elqui Valley is a top spot. It’s an extraordinary region in the north of Chile next to the Atacama desert. Thanks to snowmelt from the Andes and the wonders of irrigation, green and flourishing vineyards stand out in contrast to their lunar-like surroundings. Alta Tierra is from Viña Falernia, owned by cousins Aldo Olivier and Giorgio Flessati. They have 135 hectares of beautifully manicured vineyards and an ultra modern cellar. In 2005 they won a Trophy for their first vintage and put Elqui on the map. This dazzling Sauvignon displays classic varietal character of elderflower and freshly mown grass with ripe melon and citrus fruit. Serve as an apéritif or with spicy Asian dishes or fish.
