Casa Silva, Riesling, Austral, Chile, 2017

Chilean Riesling at £19?! Ah, but this isn't the Chile of old: Casa Silva's Lago Ranco vineyard is a steep hillside beside a stunning, icy lake in the deep south. Both vineyard and wine broach new ground for Chile, and this is a tense, serious, refined Riesling that's dry but succulent and will benefit from time in the bottle.
