Santa Rita 120 Sauvignon Blanc, Central Valley

The grapes for this zesty white were harvested from vineyards on the valley floor of the Central Valley. The harvest lasts for about a month, with plots being picked as they reach optimum ripeness; earlier harvested grapes providing a herbal fruit character, whilst later harvesting delivers more tropical fruit flavours. To add to the complexity tiny amounts of Sémillon and Chenin Blanc are added to the blend.

The Country

Chile

A viticultural paradise, where vines were introduced by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. A long, narrow country stretching 800 miles from the deserts of the north to the glacial south and it's these valleys and coasts that give the wine its variety.
