Villard EL NOBLE Botrytis Sauvignon Blanc Casablanca Valley Chile

AROMA: Very complex and covers a wide range of aromas: citrus, floral , fruits such as apricot and white peach and tropical fruit such as fresh passion fruit. TASTE: Tropical fruit and citrus. Excellent structure, refreshing acidity, with a long, crisp finish. VINIFICATION: Part of the grapes were pressed as whole clusters and the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperature for 30 days. The rest of the grapes were crushed and the juice was then cold controlled fermented in stainless steel tanks for 18 days at 12 to 15ºC. The resulting wine was left for two days on lees prior to being decanted. The two lots were then blended and left on fine lees for two and a half months, being periodically pushed into suspension with inert gas to give more volume to the wine. It was then decanted, cold stabilised and filtered before bottling. (12 x 75 cl)

AROMA: Complex nose and structure derived from the combination of fruit, barrel fermentation and ageing in French oak. Displays soft tropical fruit and vanilla aromas and flavours. TASTE: Big, full-bodied, mouth filling wine with a long finish. Excellent drinking now, it will continue to develop and gain complexity with further bottle ageing. VINIFICATION: Fermentation was initiated in a temperature controlled stainless steel tank at 15ºC. 50% of the juice was then transferred to French oak hogsheads, where fermentation lasted 15 days. STORAGE: 50% of the wine was kept in French oak barrels for 9 months with regular "batonage". The other 50% was kept in stainless steel tanks. It was then assembled and stored in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling. (12 x 75 cl)

COLOUR: Beautiful bright strawberry red. AROMA: Fresh berries such as strawberries and raspberries. TASTE: Good complexity between fruit and a touch of oak, finishing with extremely good length VINIFICATION: 5 days maceration at 8ºC prior to fermentation with 'pigeage', which lasted 6 days. STORAGE: 22% of wine stored in French barrels for 12 months, then assembled with the remaining 78% in October (12 x 75 cl)

Kingston Family Vineyards CARIBLANCO Sauvignon Blanc Casablanca Valley Chile from Chile, Aconcagua, Casablanca Valley by Kingston Family Vineyards Casablanca Valley (12 x 75 cl)

Vina Botalcura is the result of the passion of two men. Chilean partner, Juan Fernando Waidele, was seduced by the charm of the town of Botalcura and its environs, and this is where the idea to build a winery started. Juan Fernando then met enologist Philippe Debrus, who had a strong desire to return to a hands-on approach to winemaking, a style he learned in his native France when he was young. The winery is named after the town it is based in, Botalcura, near Talca, about 3 hours south of Santiago, in the coastal mountain range that forms the Maule Valley. Additionally, the word Botalcura means Large Stone in Mapundungun, the language of the Mapuche people of southern Chile. The grapes are grown in the coastal climate of the Casablanca Valley which features morning fog that burns off by midday, hot afternoons, and soft ocean breezes in the early evening, which produce very cool nights throughout the growing season. The marked difference in daytime and night time temperatures favours the development of the characteristic aromas of the Sauvignon Blanc variety. To complement the fruit grown on the company's own vineyards, grapes are sourced from the best areas of Chile, selecting those that fully express the intense, particular characteristics of the soils and climates from which they originate. Here great care is taken from hand picking the grapes only in the morning hours to keep fruit cool in the vine yard to winery where the wine remains in the stainless stell tanks and rests on fine lees around 4 months before being bottled. Pale yellow in colour with green reflections showing understated and elegant aromas that evoke white peaches and pears, as well as herbal notes including acacia and lavender. The palate has a lively entry, open and accessible with mouth-filling texture, a soft, subtle balance of acidity and tannins, leading into a broad but focused finish. (12 x 75 cl)
