Professional scores

"Pungent aromas of peach pit, lime zest and herbs, with a strong undercurrent of white pepper.Racy and pure, offering bright citrus flavors and a depper orchard and pit fruit quality. The pepper note echoes on the firm, dry finish." 88/100, Stephen Tanzer, 06/04/2009
"The ripe flavors recall peaches, but the acidity is bright and refreshing." 87/100, Descorchados Print, 22/12/2008

Press reviews

"Sauvignon really shines in Chile and is about halfway in style between the opulence of New Zealand and the lean minerality of the Loire. This example, from the 2008 Chilean Producer of the Year (International Wine & Spirit Comp) is great value, with typical clean, zesty fruit and grassiness. Excellent with basil scallops. " Jonathan Ray, Saturday Telegraph
"This is a good example of the very decent cool-climate wines now coming out of Chile, from one of the country's most reliably good brands and typically this is from the Casablanca Valley, cooled by air from the Pacific. This has pleasing acidity and crispness without being too pungent, its gooseberry fruit bright and expressive. Good value on offer." Andrew Neather, Evening Standard
"I AM A BIG FAN OF Chilean sauvignon blanc, and this zippy example is well balanced with grassy freshness and plenty of passion fruit." Jamie Goode, Sunday Express

Public opinion

"I thought that this was the "Tapiheu" available elsewhere but it's not. The bottle and label are virtually identical. I think this is better though. A class act, nettles, petrol, fruit. An absolute steal at a fiver, empty the shelves folks." 5/5, DoppelgangerCheapskate, September 09
"Light with slightly overpowering hints of citrus. Would recommend giving it a try if you find it under10 dollars." 3/5, Adgibnairb, Snooth.com
