Description:
Agustinos is the name of a rural section of the Aconcagua Valley, the original home of the Ibanez family, which christened their first vineyard with the same name.
Specially selected grapes were hand-picked at the optimum of their maturity, early in the morning. The grapes were taken directly from the vineyard to the press, with a cold maceration and soft pressing in order to avoid green extraction.
The fermentation, for sixty per cent of this wine, took place in stainless steel tanks under controlled conditions. Fourty percent of this wine was fermented in stainless steel barrels (300 L) with partial malolactic fermentation too, and aged six months with regular 'batonnage'.
This Sauvignon Blanc is a brilliant pale and greenish yellow colour with intense aromas of tropical fruits such as passion fruit (maracuja), and fresh grapefruit, interlaced with floral and slight herbaceous notes. In the mouth it's very fresh, tasty and smooth, it repeats the fruit intensity, with an integrated and persistent acidity, at the end some citric notes in an agreeable finish.
