Winemaker Notes
This attractive straw yellow with silver hues Sauvignon Blanc reveals aromas of grapefruit and herbal notes on the nose with a subtle note to guavas. Its citrusy stands out on the palate along with lemon peel, grapefruit and a refreshing herbal note. It has a medium body with a wide entrance, along with an excellent acidity that give a more lineal character with an elegant mineral finish.

A bright, vivid sauvignon with sliced peaches, pears and grass. Some gooseberries. Medium body, crisp acidity and a long, flavorful finish with a creamy texture.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The sharp and mineral 2019 Sauvignon Blanc has moderate alcohol and very good freshness. It's pure and crystalline, varietal and balanced, with supple flavors and a dry and persistent finish. Rating: 90+
Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
The Aconcagua River runs east from the charming costal town of Valparaiso and bisects the land creating the valley after which it was named. While alluvial soils predominate the Aconcagua Valey along its river throughout, its east-west flow creates drastically different conditions on each of its ends. Its western, seaside vineyards, with clay and stony soils upon gently rolling hills, produce cool-climate varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Its inner region is one of Chile’s hottest and produces some of its best red wines. Panquehue in the inner Aconcagua is the site of Chile’s first Syrah vines, planted in 1993.
