Sutil Grand Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Pale yellow in color with straw green tints. The aromas are of tropical fruit like grapefruit, with herbal notes that complement the complex aromatics. On the palate there’s tense freshness with subtle fruit flavours and good acidity, leading to a nice finish.

Grand Reserve

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from our Huertos de Ucuquer vineyard in the Colchagua Costa Valley, 19 km from the coast, on the southern bank of the Rapel River, close to the mouth, at 34oS, and 170 meters a.s.l. The soil is granitic with a presence of clay and silt, lending the wines elegance and smooth mineral notes. The soils are low in organic material, with good drainage, and allow the roots to penetrate deeply in to the soil. The climate is semi-arid coastal, with a strong influence from the Pacific Ocean and the Rapel River. The cool mornings lend a slow ripening to the grapes, translating into a great concentration of aromas and flavours in the grapes.

The grapes were harvested at night, and immediately destemmed. The whole grapes were then transported to the winery and pressed directly. The juice from the pressed grapes was separated and fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures in order to maintain all of the aromas and flavors typical of the variety.
