The vintage

Climate was the byword for the 2020 vintage. Compared to the previous growing season, the harvests were 26 days earlier, which can be explained by a series of weather events. A winter characterized by the cold temperatures necessary for good budding, a warm spring, except for two days of frost that resulted in a natural thinning of the fruit, and a summer with maximum temperatures above 37°C combined with below-normal rainfall. Consequently, optimal conditions for harvesting the Sauvignon Blanc were between 11th and 18th February, when organoleptic maturity was at its peak.

Location

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Coastal range, the appellation benefits from the cooling effect of the Humboldt current. This oceanic climate, combined with shallow and relatively poor soil, gives the perfect conditions to produce fresh and aromatic white wines.

Terroir

Grapes are mainly sourced from the coolest parts of Los Vascos in Colchagua Valley.

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

Beautifful pale yellow color.
The nose reveals notes of white peach, pear, lychee and citrus fruits followed by a herbal finish of peppermint and tarragon.
The fresh palate offers delicious acidity.
