Wine Tasting - La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc

Name: La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2015

Outside Reviews: 
"A light, refreshing, balanced sparkling wine with fruit flavors and aromas of citrus, pear and peaches, followed by a nuance of spice. Enjoy this sparkling wine as an aperitif, or with salads and spicy dishes, especially those using citrus fruit. For dessert this wine pairs well with fresh berries or a fruit tart." -Vintage Cellar
My Review:
This wine is a dark golden green color, and has a very sharp, crisp aroma of fresh grapes. I really enjoyed the initial tartness. The mid palette is more bitter and has almost a metallic, coppery taste, but the aftertaste is very mellow and pleasant. This is one of the most complex wines I've tasted yet; I was really able to differentiate between the three different palettes. I liked it so much I bought a bottle!
