Wall Street Journal's top Chilean Sauvignon Blanc pick 2 years in a row! A consistent favorite with the critics, this pale yellow-green wine has an intense and floral nose, with aromas of lime and pineapple. On the palate, it is fresh, well-structured and shows a lively acidity, with a long, pleasant finish. The vineyards of Vina La Playa occupy some of the Colchagua Valley's most desirable acreage, on the western shores of Chile's Tinguiririca River. With near-perfect growing conditions, Colchagua has been described as "The Next Napa" (Wine Enthusiast, March 2002). The La Playa brand, named for Chile's magnificent Pacific coastline, was launched in 1989 by the Axelsen family of Marin and Napa Counties in California. Viva La Playa S.A. of Chile is a partnership between the Axelsens and two promient Chilean winemaking legends: the Sutil and Erruzuriz families and consists of 597 acres.
