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

Grapes are harvested before daylight when temperatures are at their lowest. After a few hours of cold maceration, they are pressed and fermented at low temperature in stainless steel tanks to preserve their aromatic potential. The wine is partly aged on lees in order to obtain a good balance between roundness and 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.
