Sauvignon Blanc
The vintage
A winter with temperatures above average allowed for early budburst. Spring was cold compared to the relatively warm early summer. Temperatures then returned to average and stabilized.
Location
The grapes grown in the coastal valley of San Antonio. Here, the soils of granitic origin benefit from good drainage and low nutrient content, forcing the roots to explore more deeply. These characteristics, combined with the influence of the Pacific Ocean less than 20 kilometres away, allow the grapes to ripen slowly, thus preserving their acidity and aromatic typicity.
Terroir
The soils of granitic origin, with good drainage and low nutrient content, force the roots to explore deeper. These conditions , combining to the Pacific influence, located a mere 20km away, allow the grapes to ripen slowly, obtaining excellent acidity and a great aromatic expression.
Winemaking
Vinification is reductive with the must remaining protected from oxygen throughout the process in order to preserve the full organoleptic potential of the variety. The grapes are macerated in the press for 12 hours, then drained and the low-pressure pressing process begins in order to obtain a must with good aromatic potential and rich in acidity.
After cold decanting, which takes place at 4 to 7°C for 5 days, the must is kept in cold storage for 2 weeks, prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a temperature ranging between 11-15°C. Finally, the wine is stored in stainless steel tanks, where the temperature is constantly monitored in order to maintain all its freshness.
Tasting
Pale yellow in color with greenish hues.
The nose is complex, featuring aromas of exotic fruits such as passion fruit, goyava and pineapple, complemented by citrus notes of lime and subtle herbal hints.
The wine is balanced on the palate, with a pleasing attack and good volume, giving way to a delicate acidity that provides a nice, lingering finish.
An elegant and well-balanced Sauvignon Blanc.
