Vina Casablanca Nimbus Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileNimbus is a reference to the clouds that mark the valleys of Chile and the vineyard located in the coolest, westernmost area of the Casablanca valley. The soil is granite over bedrock, providing the perfection foundation for roots to go deep. Morning fog keeps the heat in check, slowing maturation throughout the growing season. The nose is a muted tropical fruit affair with floral, litchi and passionfruit, but with no aggressive esters. The attack is fresh, balanced and with creamy, mineral, grassy, fruit flavours. Most any seafood works here. Real wine.Tasted: 13 April 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
