Production
100 % Sauvignon Blanc grapes planted in the La Vinilla vineyard in Casablanca Valley, this is 300m above sea level where the soil is made up of decomposed granite from the Coastal Mountain Range. The grapes were harvested at night and were lightly pressed in order to preserve the qualities of the grapes. The must was decanted then racked into the fermentation tank. Alcoholic fermentation took place with selected yeasts. Fermentation temperatures remained at 14–15ºC, aiming to favour the aromatic expression. Once fermentation completed, the wine was racked with its lees in order to augment the body of the wine and the aromatic expression. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks before being stabilized and prepared for bottling.
Tasting notes
Greenish-yellow in colour and expressive on the nose. Vibrant aromas of grapefruit and gooseberries combine with notes of green chili, nettle and tomato leaf. The palate shows lovely zingy fruit with a silky texture and long concentrated finish.
Food match
The high acidity and aromatic persistence in this wine make it an excellent aperitif as well as an ideal companion to shellfish and raw or cooked white fish. It can also be served with white meats such as chicken seasoned with lemon, salads, and fresh cheeses.
