Errazuriz Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc 2023

If it says Late Harvest, you know it's a dessert wine - and this one's pure gold. The grapes are left to hang on the vine, developing noble rot to concentrate their sugars, creating something truly luscious. A touch of oak ageing adds depth, but it’s the vibrant flavours: candied apricot, quince, and zesty citrus, with just a hint of almond that dominate. The texture is rich and velvety, but it never feels heavy - there's a refreshing streak of acidity that keeps it lively. The finish? Long and clean, with lingering notes of honey and ripe stone fruit. For a bargain price it's utterly delicious.

Spot on with fruity, creamy desserts like peach cobbler or panna cotta - the bright acidity cuts through the richness. And don't forget blue cheese - the sweet-salty combo just works.

Viña Errazuriz was founded in 1870 by Don Maximiano Errazuriz, a man with a keen eye for terroir. He saw potential in the Aconcagua Valley's cool winters, hot summers and cooling Pacific breezes, and transformed barren land into a world-class vineyard. Today, his descendant Eduardo Chadwick, the fifth generation at the helm, continues the focus on quality. Modern winemaking techniques sit alongside a dedication to preserving the estate's unique character. Look out for their estate-grown wines - they're a testament to Errazuriz's enduring place amongst Chile's leading family-owned producers.
