La Leyenda de Las Cruces Sauvignon Blanc (Chile)
La Leyenda de Las Cruces Sauvignon Blanc (Chile)
Named after a famous shipwreck, this wine is no disaster!
Calling all Sauvignon Blanc lovers, this wine is a sensory delight. Pale yellow with green highlights. It shows intense aromas of pure pink grapefruit, peach and a herbacious nettley character. The zesty palate is vibrant with lots of citrus and stone fruit flavours, crunchy texture and a delightful mouthwatering finish.
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown in three excellent sites across the Leyda and San Antonio D.O., close to the town named after a legendary shipwreck, Las Cruces. The proximity of the vineyards to the Pacific Ocean (only 10km’s away) and its fresh coastal breezes ensures grapes ripen slowly. This allows the grapes to retain their natural citrus flavours and freshness but also to develop great aromatics. Sauvignon Blanc grapes in Leyda are some of the first to be harvested in Chile, and winemaking is simple to preserve this crunchy, bright fruit. Cool fermentation in stainless steel is followed by a couple of months on their fine lees which adds texture and depth. We bottle early to retain the primary characters, flavours and freshness of this enchanting fruit.
Great with shellfish, or some classic fish and chips!
