Fresh and crisp with aromas of lime zest, white grapefruit, nettles and passion fruit. Salted lemons and seashells, too. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a refreshing, saline palate. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap.
James Suckling (2021 vintage)The 2021 Koyle Costa La Flor Sauvignon Blanc is fragrant, alluring, and delicate. This wine offers aromas and flavors of dried herbs, rustic spices, and aromatic floral notes. Enjoy it with noodles and clams in a light garlic broth. (Tasted: July 5, 2022, San Francisco, CA)
Wilfred Wong of Wine.com. (2021 vintage)The citrus-driven 2020 La Flor Costa Sauvignon Blanc reflects the salinity of the sea, which is only nine kilometers away from the vines. There is a notable absence of herbal aromas even when picked at 13% alcohol and with a very low pH. It's produced with organically farmed grapes and kept with the fine lees for four months.
Robert Parker Wine AdvocateThe 2020 vintage is a pale steely yellow with aromas of lime, rue (herbal orange), grapefruit and gunpowder. Featuring good fat in the mouth and heightened freshness, it ends with a lime-infused finish. A profound flavorful white with a tropical kick. Very competitive at the price.
VinousA fruity white with passion fruit, lime cordial and melon on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with crisp acidity and plenty of tropical-fruit and cordial notes.
James Suckling (2020 Vintage)Starts with tangy freshness. Flavors of lemon peel, white peach & powdered ginger. Well balanced, with mineral acidity.
Viña KoyleFloral aromas with notes of freesia, fresh pineapple, guava, white peaches, and green strawberries giving way to white grapefruit, honeysuckle crème brûlée, beachy grasses, and a sea breeze salinity on the palate. La Flor has defined and elevated acidity and a clean mouthfeel that leaves you wanting for more.
NM - Enjoy with:
Lobster and drawn butter, crab cakes with remoulade, egg and gruyere souffle, and poached fish sauced with lemon. The wine stands up to salty cheeses like pecorino romano and manchego.
