Name:Santa Luz 
Variety:Sauvingon Blanc 
Region: Valle Central
Country: Chile
Year: 2013
Price: $11, sale $6.95
Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
Like any good Sauvignon Blanc, this opens with oceanic aromas of citrus fruits, sea foam and minerality. In the mouth, it is juicy and stony, with washing acidity. Flavors of honeydew, lime and a nice grassiness finish firm, with good backbone. Drink this with salads, shellfish and ceviche.
Your Review: 
Nice light colored wine with a nose of something crisp, not fruity or floral.  This definitely tasted clean and fresh, unlike fruity sweet wines. I noted something of lime and a mineral/rock taste that kept it fresh in the mouth. 

I did not try this with food.
