This top Sauvignon Blanc from Chile's cool San Antonio Valley is grown on a hillside vineyard located just 4 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. The maritime influences are very apparent in the wine's lively and persistent acidity, which keeps the wine taut and structured in the mouth. Elegant and mineral, with pungent aromas of cut grass, green herbs, and gooseberry, and vibrant flavors of melon and pink grapefruit.
