Manina Sauvignon Blanc

-Country: Chile

-Region: Central Valley

-Vintage: 2020

-Critic Review: "Tart, grassy, smooth. Nice sale wine, good for veggie stir fry or with a creamy chicken casserole. Citrus, not too sweet, crisp good for everyday."

-Wine Folly Tasting Notes: "A unique tasting whit wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Sauvignon Blanc is a wonderful paring partner with herb driven sauces, salty cheeses, light meats, and last but not least, Asian foods. Notes of gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion-fruit. (pg.165)."

-My Review: The color is a medium yellow in Wine Folly. The primary aromas are pineapple and mango. The pineapple smell is more noticeable. Upon tasting the wine, pineapple is also the primary flavor along with grapefruit and a hint of citrus. This is a semi-dry wine with a long finish that leaves a slight dryness in your mouth. It has a slight tart component as well. This wine is well balanced however and is very pleasant to drink.
