The flabby citrus aroma is dusty and shows a tinge of vanilla, which is an aroma that isn’t normally associated with Sauvignon Blanc. The palate is big and globby, with an oily note and flavors of citrus, green herb and nettle. — (3/1/2013) —82

Citrusy aromas of lemon, grapefruit and orange blend with grass and herbs. Feels tangy, crisp and correct, with lime, grapefruit and fresh green-bean flavors. Mellow on the finish, but as a whole it’s quite good and honestly reflects the qualities of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. — (6/1/2012) —87

Vina Requingua’s 2010 Sauvignon Blanc sports a nicely restrained bouquet of fresh cut grass, herbs, floral notes, and baking spices. Medium-bodied with a sense of elegance unusual in this variety, it is a savory, crisp, refreshing wine that offers excellent value. Drink it over the next 12-18 months.

Fairly neutral on the nose, but clean and easy to get into. The palate offers good acidity and vitality for Maule SB, with tropical fruit leading the flavor profile followed by pithy green notes. Overall this is a good value white.——M.S.(9/1/2011)—— 87
