At Wine Affairs, your trusted wine distributor located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, we are excited to introduce you to 18 Sauvignon Blanc from Viña de Aguirre, Terra Bendita . This exquisite wine hails from the renowned Maule Valley, specifically from our vineyards in Villa Alegre, located 285 km south of Santiago, Chile.
Terroir and Vineyards
The unique climate of Maule Valley, characterized by Mediterranean conditions, plays a crucial role in the development of our grapes. The region experiences winter rains and dry summers, resulting in a significant temperature variation between day and night. This climatic contrast allows the grapes to achieve ripe tannins while enhancing their aromatic profiles and color concentration. The soils, a mix of sand and volcanic ash, combined with the flat terrain, ensure excellent sunlight exposure, fostering the growth of high-quality Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
Vinification Process
The grapes for 18 Sauvignon Blanc are harvested in late February, ensuring optimal ripeness. The vinification process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, where selected yeasts work at temperatures ranging from 11°C to 13°C for ten to fifteen days. This careful fermentation method helps preserve the wine's fruity characteristics. Prior to bottling, the wine is stabilized and filtered to maintain its vibrant flavors.
Tasting Notes and Serving Suggestions
With an alcohol content of 12.5%, this Sauvignon Blanc is best served chilled, ideally between 10°C and 12°C. The resulting wine is a delightful expression of the terroir, offering fresh aromas and crisp flavors that make it a perfect companion for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
