Description
Reviews
From the same producer

This wine is a very pale yellow colour, with light green hues. The nose is complex and delicate, with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit such as mango, papaya, cherimoya and lime peel, intertwined with herbs notes.

Refreshingly crisp on the palate, with concentrated fruit flavours and a persistent minerality on the finish.

Robert Parker (RP) : 93 Points (2019)

Matetic's Sauvignon Blanc has a great quality/price ratio, and even the top-of-the-range 2019 EQ Coastal Sauvignon Blanc sells for under $20. They want a Sauvignon for the table, one that combines freshness and volume. They fermented part of it in used barrels and concrete, and it matured with the lees for four months in barrique and concrete eggs. This is more restrained—not as aromatic, less herbal—but the palate is terribly juicy and mineral, focused and makes you salivate. It should work wonders with modern Peruvian gastronomy.

James Suckling (JS) : 92 Points (2019)

Subtle, minerally nose. Some chili pepper and wet stones. Very tensile, taut palate with a lithe, transparent texture. Peaches on the palate with a chalky accent. Very clean and long. A serious sauvignon blanc. Around 1/3 fermented in old barrels, 1/3 in 700L concrete eggs and 1/3 in stainless steel tanks. Drink now.

Julio Bastías uses grapes from Matetic's Valle Hermoso plantings, located eight kilo meter from the Pacific, to make this barrel and amphora-aged Sauvignon Blanc. Gooseberry and passion fruit flavors are supported by racy, saline acidity. 2020-22

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 90 Points (2016)

Fresh citrus and green-apple aromas lead to a healthy palate with just enough bracing acidity. Flavors of tangerine, passion fruit and grapefruit are bold and typical of Casablanca SB, while this tastes of lime, green herbs and scallion on a fit finish.

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 94 Points (2014)

Matetic makes this wine from an estate vineyard planted in 2007, in Casablanca, six miles from the sea. It's far-coast sauvignon in surround sound, powered by pear scents, candied lemon and fresh herbs. The flavors run deep, and while acidity keeps it refreshing, the wine feels soft and friendly. Pour it with sea bass sashimi.

May 2015 - Juicy and fresh-tasting, with ripe melon, citrus and savory herbal flavors, supported by ample acidity. Offers a rich, buttery finish. Drink now.
