Aylin Sauvignon Blanc 2024 750ml

$24.99

Aylin means clarity and transparency in the Mapuche language, and that is the whole pitch. This Sauvignon Blanc grows in Leyda, in Chile's San Antonio Valley, just a few miles from the cold Pacific, where fog and sea breezes stretch the growing season. It comes from the team at Polkura and lands stateside through importer Craveiro. Cool-climate Sauvignon with actual tension. If you drink Sancerre on payday, this is your weeknight answer.

Grapefruit, lime, gooseberry and guava on the nose with pineapple and wet stone. Crisp acidity, green apple and peach on the palate, a fresh, lightly saline finish.

Ceviche, oysters, goat cheese salad, or fish tacos with plenty of lime.

Leyda sits in the San Antonio Valley a few miles from the Pacific, and the cold coastal climate has made it one of the New World's benchmark Sauvignon Blanc zones. The wine is made by Chile's Polkura winery. James Suckling scored the 2023 vintage 90 points.
