Pour this cold and the first sip basically slaps you awake. Bright lime, a squeeze of grapefruit, a flash of passion fruit, then it's gone clean off your tongue. It's dry, light on its feet and dangerously easy to keep going back to. Perfect for a hot evening, a plate of grilled prawns, or just unwinding when you want something lively that won't weigh you down. Say the word and we'll have it at your door, ice-cold, before you've even cut the lime.
Stick your nose in the glass and it's a fruit bowl, melon and pineapple riding over sharp lime and pink grapefruit, with a little green-apple snap and a grassy edge underneath. The sip is where it earns its keep. Crunchy citrus, a touch of tropical fruit, and a zippy acidity that keeps everything fresh and clean. It's light-bodied and bone-dry, no sugar hiding in there, so it finishes crisp and leaves you wanting the next mouthful. Mouth-watering in the best way.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Antares is a Chilean range from Santa Carolina, one of the country's old guard wine houses going back to 1875 in the Central Valley. The name nods to the brightest star in the southern sky, and the whole idea is bottling Chile end to end, Andes to Antarctica. The grapes come off vineyards in Chile's mellow Mediterranean climate, warm dry summers and cool nights, which is exactly what gives Sauvignon Blanc that snappy acidity. Fermented cool in stainless steel to lock in all that fresh fruit, never near an oak barrel.
