They present BeLight Sauvignon Blanc 2023 from Chile.<\/p>\n<p>I have not yet found an alcohol-free wine which has the taste and texture impact of the real thing, but Casillero del Diablo BeLight Sauvignon Blanc 2023 ticks boxes for a decent wine without the risk of the inevitable hangover repercussions. It has 8.5% alcohol so an ideal choice when entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>The early harvest of this Sauvignon Blanc allows for the development of lower sugar and therefore less alcohol in the finished wine. Sauvignon Blanc is a green-skinned grape variety that originates from France, and is Chile\u2019s second most widely-planted variety. Central Valley in Chile is one of the top regions for wine production in South America, with areas of varying climates.<\/p>\n<h4>Well-balanced acid<\/h4>\n<p>This wine has only 65 calories per glass. Its pale-yellow hue has a suspicion of green. It displays the expected expressions of Sauvignon Blanc, being crisp and clean with flavours of green apples and citrus with slight minerality. It has well-balanced acid making it a perfect pairing for salads, fish and shellfish or as a pre al fresco-dinner glass.<\/p>\n<p>Casillero del Diablo BeLight Sauvignon Blanc 2023 should be served chilled to between 8 and 10\u00b0C. Remove from the fridge about 20 minutes before pouring. I would drink this now, although it can be kept in cellar conditions for up to three years.<\/p>\n<p>Marketing Director at Casillero del Diablo, Sebasti\u00e1n Aguirre, says \u201cAlthough there has been a change in preferences, people still want to enjoy experiences around wine consumption. That\u2019s why BeLight is a great option. For a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, our new offering includes a 30% reduction in calories compared to a traditional glass of Sauvignon Blanc, without sacrificing the outstanding characteristics that have made Casillero del Diablo a world-renowned wine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Casillero del Diablo\u2019s BeLight is available from Tesco nationwide. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesco.com\/shop\/en-GB\/category\/drinks\/wine\">Visit Tesco here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sauvignon Blanc Chile 2023.
