Pour this cold and the whole glass smells like a fruit market. Lime, green apple, a little pear. It's light, dry and zippy, the kind of white that wakes your mouth up rather than weighing it down. Grab it for a hot Nairobi evening, a Friday that needs a head start, or just a Tuesday that deserves better. Easy on the wallet, easy on the night.
The nose leads with bright citrus, fresh green apple and a touch of ripe pear, with that classic green, leafy lift Sauvignon Blanc does so well. First sip is light and clean, lemon and grapefruit zip across your tongue, and the acidity gives it a juicy, mouth-watering snap. It finishes dry and tidy with a faint peppery edge, so nothing lingers too long. Nothing heavy, nothing sweet, just fresh fruit and a clean exit that makes you want the next sip.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Frontera is the everyday range from Concha y Toro, Chile's biggest and most famous winery, founded back in 1883 by Don Melchor Concha y Toro. The story goes that he shipped grape cuttings over from Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc among them, and Chile's long, sunny, mountain-cooled Central Valley turned out to be perfect for them. That cool air off the Andes is exactly what keeps this wine so fresh and lively in the glass.
