Casas del Bosque Pequeñas Producciones Sauvignon Blanc 2018

All fruit was harvested from our own vineyard – located within the coolest, westernmost reaches of the Casablanca Valley. Sourced from a mixture of two clones (60% clone 107 from the “Trampa” and 40% clone 242 from the “Cantera” blocks) from hillsides plantings on decomposed granite from the Jurassic with a thin topsoil of iron-rich red clay. The blocks used in this blend were cropped at an average of 6.5 tons per hectare (2.7 tons per acre). Following the cold soaking period, 97% of this wine was fermented in used French oak. The wine was then left on gross lees for 3 weeks before being cold stabilized, filtered and bottled. Year in and year out this is considered the best SB in South America.

Bright straw color with hints of green. Expressive lime, linden blossom and jalapeño aromas on the nose. On the palate, this Sauvignon blanc has creamy, yeasty notes counterbalanced by crisp minerality and firm structure. The finish is salivating and long.
