Tasting - La Lejania Sauvignon Blanc

Name: La Lejania
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Central Valley
Country: Chile
Year: 2015
Price: $10, on sale for $6.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review (provided at tasting): "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."

My impressions:
Light, greenish tinge, honey colored.  It has a fruity nose, with hints of apple.  The fruit continues through the mid-palate, with strong honey flavors with apple/pear notes.  I thought I tasted citrus through the finish.  Overall I enjoyed it, and it's easily worth $7.  But I wouldn't pay more.

I did not have food with it.
