Tasting notes:

The new-look packaging for Viña Cono Sur’s Bicicleta Range features a dirt bike, and one can just imagine packing this bottle into a rucksack before striking out up a Chilean (or Alpine) mountain on a summer trek. Pale yellow-hued, the wine is packed with pineapple and mango fruit, with honey and white flower nuances. Almost dry, the mid-weight palate is framed by crisp acidity with a hint of spritz adding extra freshness. Notes of white pepper and stone give interest. A very good crowd-pleaser that is perfect for an al fresco lunch of cold poached salmon accompanied by cucumber salad.  (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
