Winery Review: Gorgeous notes, pungent and complex with layers of aromas that transfer into the palate. Notes of gooseberry, key lime and herbs and jalapeno pepper hints give way to grapefruit and more tropical fruit richness, followed up with a touch of minerality. The palate gushes with pink grapefruit, gauva and a sweet, tart interplay that is fresh and vibrant. This has exceptional length and for the price this is a screamer. It is reported that Casa de Bosque makes one of Casablanca's best Sauvignon Blanc and supplies Sauvignon Blanc grapes to some well known wineries with big names who know this to be true. Exceptional value, this wine has great purity and vibrancy that gushes with crisp fruit, with a finish you could keep time with.
My Review: This wine had a very unique aroma. There were smells of grapefruit, herb, grass and basil. After tasting, there was an interesting jalepeno pepper flavor. It wasn't spicy but it had a peppery taste. It was also very smooth with little acidity which made it easy to drink.
I did not have this wine with food.
