May, 2010.- A new edition, a new score! San Pedro’s wines stemming from cool climates and promising terroirs continue causing great impact on relevant gatekeepers around the world, such as the prestigious American specialized magazine WineEnthusiast (WE), once again.
This time, the renowned wine-publication highlights on the Buying Guide of its July issue San Pedro’s wine 1865 Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2009, made of grapes grown at the refreshing Leyda Valley, scoring it with 90 points, what is equivalent to qualify this wine as excellent and highly recommendable.
According to the magazine’s review, “nettle, citrus, green herb and mineral aromas announce its coastal SB roots, while the juicy citrus and stony mineral quality are just what they should be. There’s even some tarragon and juniper in the mix. Really good Chilean Sauvignon Blanc that is improving year after year since debuting in 2007.”
This wine is the third vintage since San Pedro’s Premium brand 1865 Single Vineyard began to include a white vine into its range. It is elaborated from the finest Sauvignon Blanc grapes planted in the Leyda Valley, only 4km away from the Pacific Ocean, being one of the vineyards located closest to the sea in Chile, what allows its grapes to ripen very slowly and acquire a notable and unique mineral-salty character and elegance.
Without any doubt, an origin to keep in mind: Las Gaviotas Vineyard!
