Chili

For this tasting, we have something special planned (we're not making things easy on ourselves this time): a comparative study of three bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, made in roughly the same region in Chile, by the same producer: Amayna Wines. This might not sound very exciting, since we all know what Sauvignon Blanc is and what it tastes like, but I can tell you already that it's worth your while to read until the end, because we make some surprising discoveries...

Chardonnay, medium deep golden colour, fair amount of body, buttery mouthfeel, clear notes of wood mixed with citrus and tropical fruit. This might sound like a traditional white Burgundy, but that is definitely not the case. Would have been difficult, since it is being produced in Leyda Vally, in faraway Chile...

Pinot Noir is geen krachtpatser die u bij de keel grijpt! Eerder een fluweelzachte versierder die met lieve woordjes en zachte kusjes probeert door te dringen. Of zoiets… Verfijning ten top!
