Castillo de Molina - Sauvignon Blanc, Reserva, 2006

Origin:
This wine comes from the finest vineyards. Viña San Pedro counts with in the valleys of Elqui, Casablanca and Leyda, which have a strong maritime influence, due to their proximity to the Pacific Ocean. This location grants a very fresh climate, ideal for the show maturation of the grapes that give birth to this wine. This year, the Elqui Valley dominates, developing a very typical and expressive character. The vines are vertically trellised and drip irrigated.

Vinification:
Directly pressed. Alcoholic fermentation carried out with selected yeasts and controlled temperatures between 14 and 15° C. Made under a completely reductive process.

Color:
Very young, clean and brilliant pale greenish-yellow.

Aroma:
Presents a great personality, very intense and fresh aromas, blending notes of exotic fruits, fresh grass and tomato leafs, with subtle touches of citric fruits, such as lemon and maracuja.

Palate:
This wine stands out for its identity and freshness, interlacing vegetal and fruit flavors, with a very pronounced –but balanced and mineral– acidity and good volume that lead to a long finish.

Serving Suggestion:
Ideal to enjoy as an aperitif, and with fish and shellfish.
