Winemaking One of the more southern of Chile's wine-growing areas, Maule is slightly cooler than its northerly cousins and has higher annual rainfall, most of which occurs during winter. The intensity of the sunlight is high (as it is in much of Chile) and Maule enjoys warm days followed by much colder nights, extending the growing season and leading to a balance of ripeness and acidity in the grapes.
Description
Expressive and elegant are perfect words to describe this Sauvignon Blanc. With fresh floral notes and citrus and grapefruit flavors, it has a firm but balanced acidity with ripe fruits and hints of apricot on the finish.
