Wine tasting notes
Clear, pale green. The complex nose reveals layers of aromas; minerality from the calcareous soils together with gentle notes of green chilli pepper and herbs. The structured palate boasts crisp acidity while the finish is clean and persistent.
Expert reviews
The 2018 Sumpai Sauvignon Blanc was produced with grapes from their Nicolasa vineyard in Huaso (Atacama), from which the Ventisquero team also produce the Tara wines. And even in a place like this northern location where the effect of the years is milder, I could notice the vibrant palate and the more mineral mouthfeel when tasted next to the 2019, which was a warmer year. This wine is always pungent, with herbal and spicy aromas and a light palate with high acidity and moderate alcohol. 2018 was a very balanced and fresh year, and the wine shows it. 8,000 bottles were filled in November 2018.
