Vina Ventisquero's Yali Winemaker's Selection Wetland Sauvignon 2009 is currently on special offer at Majestic (buy 2 or more for £4.49) until 1st February and then at Tesco (down from £6.49 to £4.49 from 2nd-23rd February). It is not as aromatic or gooseberry-laden as its more expensive New Zealand counterparts; it is, nevertheless, fresh and fruity with decent acidity and added depth from lees ageing. It is a bargain at this reduced price. The Yali range is named after the El Yali Wetland Zone, an important wetland ecosystem in central Chile, close to the Vina Ventisquero winery. The wines come in one of the new, lightweight bottles. Carbon emissions from its transportation, although reduced owing to this bottle, are being offset by a programme with ClimateCare. The winery has also joined forces with the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. A donation is made to the Trust for every case of Yali wine sold in the UK.
