Where it comes from
This wine originates in Chile, within the wine-growing region of the Leyda Valley. The area's cool oceanic climate is defined by constant Pacific breezes and moderated by the Humboldt Current, elements that support the flavour tension of the grapes. The vineyards rest on silty-sandy soils, composed of thin layers of red clay over a solid granite base. These unique soil and climate characteristics give the wine a naturally pronounced savoury character.
How it is produced
The grapes are harvested in the early hours of the morning to preserve the aromatic intensity of the bunches. Vinification begins with a cold maceration in tank at controlled temperatures for several hours. The must is then fermented at a constant temperature of around 12°C. The production cycle concludes with careful maturation in stainless steel, chosen to preserve the varietal purity of the Sauvignon Blanc and the typical expressive liveliness of the fruit.
