Natalie's Score: 89/100

This 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is made in the Leyda region in Chile. Boya Vineyards are influenced by the Pacific Ocean's moderating and cooling breezes bringing cool temperatures and allowing grapes to slowly ripen and develop their character. These cooling breezes also bring a salty tang to the grapes from the sea. Love the salty finish here! Boya Sauvignon Blanc has been cold-fermented with no malolactic fermentation. Crisp and refreshing, with herbal and lime citrus notes. Medium-bodied with good acidity. Pair with fresh shellfish and seafood.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: grilled halibut steaks, lemon sole in white sauce.

Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

From Chile's Leyda Valley, a Sauv Blanc with a crisp, herbal nose and a palate showing citrus, passion fruit, grassy notes and tasty salty touch on the finish. Great value in this refeshing SB.
Tasted Jan. 2017
This 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is made in the Leyda region in Chile. Boya Vineyards are influenced by the Pacific Ocean's moderating and cooling breezes bringing cool temperatures and allowing grapes to slowly ripen and develop their character. Look for zesty, lemony citrus flavours, grassy notes and a salty tang. Well-structured and balanced. Pair with saucy seafood dishes. - Community Wine Reviews
