Aresti Estate Collection Sauvignon Blanc 2013, Chile — €8 (reduced from €10.99)

I haven’t featured supermarket wines in a few weeks so this week I want to mention SuperValu who have a new world wine sale on for May.

The Aresti family of Chile have had a relationship with SuperValu for 10 years and the wines have gotten better and better. SuperValu feel that Aresti wines have helped build confidence in the supermarket’s range of wine generally and they are probably correct.

The estate is family owned and was founded in 1951 but bottled under their own label since 1999. Three generations of the family is involved and the wine-making team I met at a recent tasting demonstrated passion and a good knowledge of the wines we like in Ireland.
