Paula Bernardino rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This was my weekend wine pick: a lovely Sauvignon Blanc from the Leyda Valley in Chile. Herbal aromas and flavours along with hints of citrus, grapefruit and passion fruit. Paired well with creamy cheeses and almond salmon. I also like to pair Sauvignon Blanc with creamy desserts like vanilla sponge cake. 13% alcohol. Available at the SAQ (SAQ code: 14250377) at $16.05.

Leyda Valley is nestled in the rolling hills of Chile’s coastal mountain range. Located just eight miles from the Pacific Ocean, it has distinctly cool maritime climate. Leyda is home to some of the most elegant, expressive cool climate wines from Chile.




Natalie's Review

Viña Leyda Reserva Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Leyda Valley, Chile: So vibrant and fresh, this Chilean Sauvignon Blanc almost jumps out of the glass to meet you more than half way. Aromas of fresh cut grass, lemon zest and sunshine. Pair with shellfish and seafood. Incredible value. Drink: 2017-2018. 515247 13.50% XD 750 mL  $15.95 Score: 90/100.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
