2017 Fitz Roy Sauvignon Blanc Curico Valley Chile

Fitz Roy is a collaboration between Elixir and France’s famed Lurton brothers with the intention of bringing you hand crafted, terroir driven, sustainably farmed Chilean varietal wine with unbelievable pricing. Before cool-climate/coastal Sauvignon Blanc became fashionable in Chile during the late nineties, the Curico Valley was king for this varietal. Warmer temperatures produce a “throwback” style, with lush, tropical flavors and aromas (think citrus, mango, lychee, and papaya). Pale yellow in color, this white wine brings bright aromas of melon, hay, and yuzu fruit. Fruit flavors including citrusy lime and stone fruits lead to a medium bodied palate. The wine finishes with a bright acidity.
