TROTAMUNDOS – SAUVIGNON BLANC
Product Information
Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand-picked at 21.3° Brix at their peak of flavor, maturity and balance; “cold-macerated” in a closed press for 2 hours, then gently pressed and cold-fermented slowly for 20 days, off the skins, to retain the grape’s aromatic components so special to the Leyda terroir; then racked, filtered, and bottled, sealed with a Stelvin closure to maintain freshness.

APPELLATION
Leyda Valley, Chile – This region sits on a set of rolling hills on the seaward side of the coastal range, particularly cold because of the Humboldt Current and consequently produces bright, vibrant wines. The soil here at 180 mts. above sea level is largely clay and loam over a granite base with moderate drainage.
