PRODUCTION A long standing working relationship with growers enables leading UK-based winemaket, Boutinot, to source premium fruit, with the ultimate aim of making excellent quality Chilean entry level wines with true style and character. For the Sauvignon Blanc, two families combine in two different locations for a blend with huge appeal. The first is the Martin Family who are nestled into the Andes Mountains in a western corner of Curico. Their vineyards sit around 500 metres above sea level. The higher altitude and proximity to the mountains means evening temperatures drop significantly, allowing Sauvignon Blanc grapes to retain crucial acidity as they ripen. The altitude and steep slopes, mean that grapes are not sprayed with chemicals and are hand harvested. Once the grapes are picked then crushed, cool fermentation is used to preserve the freshness and fruit aromas. The wine is blended with Sauvignon Blanc from the German Family in Cachapoal. Here, in a warmer location, the variety gains great aromatic expression. Wines from this warmer spot usually have a little more body, making the blend a great combination of aromatics, fresh acidity and weight. The wine is settled in tank for a short period before being bottled early to preserve the wines youthful vibrancy.

TASTING NOTE A fresh and crisp wine with ripe citrus fruit. Packed with lime zest, lemon and kiwi fruit flavours. Think of cool glacial streams and enjoy the refreshing, racy acidity on the finish.

FOOD MATCH Quaff with fish and chips, grilled fish and seafood.
