Description

Intense and multilayered, the nose is dominated by aromas of citrus, mango, honeysuckle, lemon and touches of honey. Rich and zesty, the flavours are reminiscent of the aromas with additional fresh white peach and herbal notes. The strong mineral background balances the richness giving superb elegance.

Certifications

Coastal fruit from vineyards near the ocean give this wine its bracing character. Three months’ lees ageing adds creaminess, weight and texture, while there are gooseberry fruit flavours and a refreshing lemony character to match grilled halloumi or deep-fried Camembert.

Viticulture

The grapes for the Aconcagua Costa Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc came from our Manzanar Vineyard, located just 12 km from the Pacific Ocean and ranging between 100 to 300 metres above sea level. These extraordinary characteristics are ideal for cool-climate varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyards are drip irrigated and trellised to vertical shoot position on soils with a thin layer of loam over another layer of clay and metamorphic slate-type rock (schist).

Vinification

30% of the grapes were whole-cluster pressed to obtain greater elegance on the palate, while the remaining 70% were destemmed, crushed and pressed to preserve their natural acidity. The juice was then fermented in stainless steel tanks.
