Wine Description
The Story
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Origin: Casablanca Valley.
Soil: Sandy-clay with a depth of 2 metres.
Vinification: The must was protected from contact with the air throughout the process which began with a cold maceration for 12 to 14 hours to increase the contact between the juice and the skins of the grapes. Next came a slow fermentation at a constant temperature of between 12°C and 15°C, which enabled the fruit and mineral aromas typical of the variety to be drawn out.
Ageing: After fermentation, the wine was aged over its lees for four months and battonage was used to gently move it so as to increase the volume and complexity in the mouth.
Tasting notes: Pale green. This wine has a fresh bouquet in which citrus and tropical fruit aromas, such as lime, grapefruit, pineapple and pear are complemented by soft herbal notes. This medium-bodied wine with its vibrant acidity retains the freshness characteristic of this variety. Notes of citrus and tropical fruit are again apparent in the mouth.
Servin g: Best served at a temperature of between 8°C and 10°C, this wine pairs well with salad, seafood, ceviche and fish.

Acidity: 5.30 g/L (Tartaric Acid.).
Residual Sugar: 3.26 g/L
Harvest: The grapes were harvested between 01 and 22 March, when they had reached the peak of their aromatic potential. The clusters were harvested at night, when the fruit was cooler, and then transported to the winery, in order to preserve the quality and character of the variety.
Vintage: Which was grown in the Casablanca Valley. Temperatures were low to medium during 2017 in the Casablanca Valley. This meant that the grapes ripened slowly and harvesting began in late March. The presence of rainfall during part of the ripening period meant the the harvest had to be brought forward towards the end of the season. The wines obtained are well-balanced and aromatic.
Ageing potential: This wine can be stored for up to 4 years in optimum conditions.
