You want something cold, bright and easy to love. This is it. Pour it and you get a hit of lime, green apple and fresh-cut grass, then a clean dry finish that just makes you want the next sip. It's the bottle for a hot evening on the balcony, a catch-up with mates, or whenever you fancy a white that wakes your mouth up without being fussy. Bonus: the grapes are certified organic, so you can feel a little smug about it.
Pale straw in the glass, and the nose is straight-up zesty: lime, grapefruit, green apple and gooseberry, with a grassy, herby lift that's the signature Sauvignon Blanc tell. Take a sip and it's tangy and lively, citrus all the way through, with a streak of acidity that keeps everything sharp and clean. No sweetness, no heaviness. It finishes crisp and dry, leaving your palate fresh and ready for food or just another glass.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Cono Sur, a Chilean winery started in 1993 with a slightly rebellious streak. The grapes grow in the San Antonio Valley, just 15km from the Pacific, where cold Antarctic breezes off the Humboldt Current keep the vines cool and the fruit crackling with acidity. The vineyards are certified organic, and Cono Sur leans hard into it: they let geese roam the rows to eat pests instead of spraying, ride bikes around the estate, and were one of the first wineries to ship carbon-neutral. The name nods to the Southern Cone, the bottom tip of South America where Chile sits.
