35° SOUTH RESERVA SAUVIGNON BLANC 2008
Our Sauvignon Blanc combines the main features of the Curicó and Elqui valleys, obtaining a very balanced and intense wine. Curicó contributes with some fruity and citric notes, while the Elqui offers its fresh and mineral touches. During the whole vinification process we took great care about the aromatic potential of our grapes. They underwent a brief resting on its light lees, in order to gain final complexity. We managed a very fruity wine, with a pleasant acidity.
