Corralillo Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow with delicate green hues, this vibrant wine opens with citrus and tropical aromas of mango, papaya, and grapefruit peel, layered with subtle herbal notes. Fresh, crisp, and concentrated on the palate, it shows lively fruit and a salty mineral edge that carries through a long finish. Enjoy as an aperitif or pair with oysters, shellfish, sashimi, ceviche, lean fish, or fresh creamy cheeses such as goat cheese.
Vineyards
For Corralillo Sauvignon Blanc, clones 242, Davis 1, and 107 were selected from distinct vineyard blocks in the coastal San Antonio and Casablanca Valleys. Grown in highly decomposed granite-quartz soils, the vines produce fruit with notable complexity and character. Organic and biodynamic farming practices promote ideal light and airflow, supporting even ripening, aromatic development, and healthy bunches. Harvest takes place in March, with yields of 8–10 tons per hectare and excellent concentration and varietal expression.
Winemaking
Each block was hand-harvested separately to optimize ripeness and character. Destemmed grapes underwent 6–8 hours of cold maceration, alongside whole-cluster pressing, to build aromatic intensity, freshness, and palate weight. Fermentation occurred over 30 days at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks, followed by three months of lees stirring to enhance texture and aromatic complexity.
