1818 Classic Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Vineyards: The grapes come from our estate vineyards in Villa Alegre, 285 km south of Santiago in the Maule Valley. The soils are derived from volcanic ash and consist of sandy to sandy-loam earth. The vineyards are flat and receive an excellent exposure to sunlight. The yields are carefully controlled so as to produce concentrated and elegant wines.

Climate: The Villa Alegre region of Chile has a Mediterranean- style climate. Winter rains are plentiful and summers are dry with marked temperature variations between day and night, thereby allowing the grapes to obtain superb tannin development as well as excellent aromas and color concentration.

The Chardonnay grapes were harvested by hand early in the morning at the middle of March. We used only the low pressure to ferment in stainless steel tanks with select yeast at temperatures ranging from 12º to 14ºC during a twenty-day period, allowing the extraction varietals aromas. Prior to bottling, the wine is stabilized and filtered carefully to keep all the fruit.
