Watershed moment. Good, cheap Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. I'll spare you the cliché tasting notes - we all know what this tastes like. The point is, it costs less than £7 and it isn't grim. In fact, it's good.Perhaps its origin is a clue. It's from the Elqui Valley, which is among the highest (and therefore coolest) of Chile's vineyards. I am a big fan of Syrah from this region, and it's basically the reason I took a chance on this wine.
So, I encourage you to give this a try while it's on offer. This is good competition for Marlborough, New Zealand wines.
