Viña Casablanca Céfiro Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Light yellow color with greenish hues. The nose exhibits fruity aromas of white peach and passion fruit, with herbal notes and floral hints of orange blossom. Fresh palate and delicious acidity.

The vineyards are located on the western most end of the Casablanca Valley, known as the best cold climate terroir in Chile. Located just 20 km from the Pacific Ocean, the morning sea breeze is an all-important characteristic of this valley. The soil is granite of variable depth over fractured bedrock, which allows roots to grow deep. Moderated by the ocean influence, cool temperatures allow grapes to ripen slowly and attain delicious acidity and freshness. The Casablanca valley offers the perfect conditions for cool-climate red sand whites like this Sauvignon Blanc.

Manual harvesting during the mornings, when temperatures are lower in the Casablanca Valley and mechanical harvesting at night looking for temperatures below 8º C. Maceration on fine lees for 3 days at 3º C. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks with select and native yeasts at 13º C (56º F) during 3 weeks. Once the alcoholic fermentation is finished, the wines are kept on their fine lees for at least one month to achieve finer aromas and a creamy texture.
