Description:
Vina Ventisquero are committed to continuously improving its vinification process and reducing its environmental impact to a minimum. It therefore aims for 100% compliance with environmental regulations and legislation.
This wine is from the Casablanca Valley vineyard, with its warm weather and pleasant coastal breezes, that cool the summer temperatures. This fantastic location offers the ideal conditions for slow ripening which allows grapes to develop and maintain their flavour and aroma.
Located 80 Km from Santiago and close to the Pacific Ocean, this valley receives approximately 450 mm of rain during the winter months of May through September. The poor, finely-textured sandy alluvial soil retains very little moisture and produces low yields (approximately 8,000 kilos per hectare), resulting in high quality fruit with concentrated varietal characteristics.
The best grapes from the vineyards are selected for this wine. Working closely with the grapes and vineyards over the years, Vina Ventisquero have come to understand and carefully manage this variety and are more than capable of creating a great Sauvignon Blanc Gran Reserva.
A true reflection of our terroir, this is a wine with tremendous personality, identity, and character. This Sauvignon Blanc is an intense green colour with yellow shades and a citrus fruit bouquet, showing grapefruit as well as tropical touches, such as, maracuya. A Gran Reserva with good structure, balanced acidity, tropical fruit flavors,and lovely long finish.
