Tried the Secano. Mel gave it a star. I'm not sure. Seemed bitter on the finish, but taste buds may have been shot at the time. |

Secano Estate Sauvignon Gris 2009 M&S 7.49 Winemaker and winery: Viviana Navarrete, Viña Leyda. Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Gris. Region: Leyda Valley, San Antonio Valley, south west of Santiago. Viticulture/Vinification: The red clay soil of the Leyda Valley restricts the growth of the vines, forcing them to yield particularly concentrated berries. Grapes are hand-harvested very early in the morning so that they arrive at the winery cold. Softly pressed and fermented at cool temperature to retain the fruit flavours of this unusual grape variety. This wine is unoaked. Availability: 89 stores. 14% vol. Goodness, gracious me. What an attractive smell. So floral, so creamy, so fruity. A lot of gooseberry in the mouth. Fresh, light, lemony acidity with cool gooseberry finish. Great for an aperitif. Beats a lot of Marlborough SB. 23/03/10 |

14% vol. Great for an aperitif. At 14% alcohol, really? It's not my idea of an aperitif. But then again, sherry is a common aperire... |
