The vintage

A winter with moderate rainfall, gave way to a spring that initially behaved with normal temperatures and gradually rose to above normal levels during February and March, transforming the season into a very hot year, similar to 2019.

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

Los Vascos is made up of a large diversity of soils. The heart of the estate, in the valley floor, consists of sand and clay alluvions left by the erosion of neighbouring granitic hills, as well as Tosca, a very hard soil made from volcanic ashes that have been transported by rivers into the plains and compacted over time.
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

The robe is crystalline with a slight greenish hue.
The nose is fresh and aromatic with notes of green chili, asparagus, green apple and lime, leading to more tropical notes such as passion fruit and lychee.
On the palate the wine has a marked tension and delicate citrussy aromas. A vivid yet complex expression of Chilean Sauvignon Blanc.
