Citrus aromas of lime and tangerine are consistent on the nose, while the palate features aromas of mandarin, tropical fruits and herbal notes—a wine with refreshing acidity, great depth and persistence.

Vineyards

The grapes for our Winemakers Selction Sauvignon Blanc come from selected vineyards that grow close to the Pacific Ocean’s coast in the Aconcagua Region, on rolling hills at an altitude of 100 to 300 meters above sea level. Gentle Pacific breezes and morning fog make these vineyards ideal for producing refreshing Sauvignon Blanc.

Vintage

The 2021 season began with a winter of average rains and a warm spring; however, this condition changed drastically during summer, presenting temperatures well below the historical average and numerous cloudy days. The biggest surprise came at the end of January, with abundant rainfall that set off alarms from the Central Valley to the South. On the other hand, in Aconcagua Inland, thanks to its location 85 km north of the Central Valley, rainfall was only 21 mm, which had no impact on the fruit’s health. The months of February and March were cold, and the ripening advanced slowly. During the last week of March, we had the last rays of sunlight necessary to reach the desired ripeness. The cold summer condition resulted in moderate alcohol and vibrant acidity, producing wines of excellent colour and aromatic intensity, fresh and balanced.

Winemaking

Grapes were picked Hand and take to the winery, where they were carefully destemmed, crushed and pressed. The must was lightly clarified and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took between 15 to 20 days, and the resulting wine was then separated into different lots that stayed in touch with their lees for three months to intensify its distinctive fruit character and develop a nice texture.
