Secreto de Viu Manent Sauvignon Blanc 750ml
EXPERT NOTES
Secreto uses lesser-known varieties to make very expressive fresh and aromatic blends, each with a very closely guarded secret—the winemaker includes a 15% component that only he knows.
WINEMAKER’S TASTING NOTES
Pale yellow in color with green hues. The wine is intense and fruity with aromas of exotic fruits, white flowers as well as subtle notes of minerals and sea salt. It is fresh on the palate with character, showing expressive, fruity, and mineral notes due to coastal origin. It has a long and pleasant finish.
-Patricio Celedon (Winemaker)

TASTE WINE
Look, Smell, Taste and Conclude
VISUAL
You can tell the age of the wine by the color in the glass, also if you look at the legs of the wine you can determine quality aspects
SMELL
When you first start smelling wine, think big to small. Are there fruits? Think of broad categories first, i.e. citrus, orchard, or tropical fruits in whites or, when tasting reds, red fruits, blue fruits, or black fruits. Getting too specific or looking for one particular note can lead to frustration
The Grape
The grape variety is very important to understand a wine.
Grape varieties are considered the most important factor in differentiating a wine
IN YOUR TONGUE
You will be able to perceive that the flavor runs throughout the mouth. You will notice how it runs along the sides, which indicates that it is a quality wine due to its structure.
