2018 Concha y Toro Sauvignon Blanc Frontera 89 Points
Chile, Central Valley
(1/17/2019)
Tasted at some 30,000 feet above ground. Light bodied, pale stuff, but intensely flavoured with herbaceous leafy notes as well as the savoury breath of the sea. Pairs quite well with buttered vegetables, or otherwise would be quite neutral with white meats and fish
