Tasting Notes
Brilliant, light greenish-yellow in color. Pronounced notes of citrus fruit and minerals stand out on the nose, accompanied by interesting notes of chili pepper and tomato leaves. Intensely aromatic on the palate with bright acidity that makes this a fresh wine that is pleasing to drink.
Fermentation and Aging
Most of the grapes were gently destemmed and underwent a cold soak prior to pressing. The clean must was fermented at 12º-14ºC (54º-57F). The low temperatures were maintained to preserve the wine’s freshness, aromas, and intensity. After approximately three weeks, all of the sugars had transformed into alcohol. Our Caliterra Reserva Sauvignon Blanc in unoaked, and the first bottles are ready for immediately after fermentation.
Winemaker’s Notes
In this wine we seek to highlight the expression of terroir by adapting each vitification technique to achieving the maximum potential of the fruit. The grapes are harvested at night or very early in the morning at temperatures of 8º-10C (46º-50ºF), which allows us to preserve aromas.
This is a very fresh wine with an excellent balance of acidity. It is crisp and playful and invites you to have another glass soon.
