De Martino Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2022 White

The De Martino family has specialised in producing wines that are noted for their sense of place, purity and balance. With this in mind, they carry out sustainable vinegrowing practices and traditional winemaking methods to achieve a wine that represent them as well as their vineyards. Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced from Casablanca Valley, which has cool coastal exposure and vines are planted in decomposed granite. Grapes were hand harvested during the last week of April, destemmed and pressed gently to avoid extracting bitter phenols. The juice was left to settle and then put into stainless steel vats where the alcoholic fermentation took place with natural yeasts at temperatures ranging between 14°C and 16°C. Malolactic fermentation was blocked and the wine aged over its fine lees for 6 months.

TASTING NOTES
A clear typicity of Casablanca with citrus, herbal and passion fruit notes. On the palate it shows great freshness and purity of fruit with a crunchy texture and good weight, ending with a fairly persistent finish. A classic Chilean Sauvignon Blanc cold climate example, but with an extra dimension on the palate.

Delicious as an aperitif, at receptions or with a variety of exotic appetizers. Also delicious with cold fish, asparagus dishes and fresh white cheese. Serving temperature: 8°C
