Aresti "Estate Selection" Sauvignon Blanc
Viña Aresti / Curicó Valley, Central Valley, Chile
The Sunny, Citrus-Packed Chilean Weeknight Crisp
Bright straw-yellow with pale green glints in the glass. The nose is clean, welcoming, and citrus-focused, offering up aromas of ripe lime, pink grapefruit, yellow nectarine, and a subtle touch of fresh garden herbs. Light-to-medium-bodied on the palate with energetic acidity, rounded tropical fruit smoothness, and a crisp, squeaky-clean finish.
⭐ (Sitting around 11.5% to 12.5% ABV and fermented cold in stainless steel with zero oak, this is squeaky-clean and exceptionally forgiving on the head).
Supermarket fish and chips, goat cheese salad, grilled prawns, fish tacos, or a simple midweek lemon chicken.
When you're living in a country without vineyards, you're at the mercy of the local Marks and Spencer or high-street supermarket rack—and Chilean whites are the unsung heroes of budget survival. While Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc slaps you across the face with passionfruit and lawnmower clippings, Aresti brings a smoother, sun-warmed Andean sunshine to the glass. It's loaded with juicy lime and nectarine without being overly tart or aggressive. Honest, easy-drinking, and a completely dependable bottle when you just need a reliable white to brighten up a dreary afternoon.
