Cordillera, Sauvignon Blanc

More on the wine

Coming from the Elqui Valley in Northern Chile, this is a different style of Sauvignon Blanc than your usual coastal Sauvignon Blanc from Chile. The grapes are harvested in Elqui and travel down to their winery in Curico in large refrigerated trucks!

More on the producer

Torres was one of the most important foreign investors in Chile. Arriving in the 70s the Spanish producer brought with him all the latest technology and was the first to bring stainless steel tanks, which are now a staple in the country. Their level of innovation and research hasn’t waned and they remain on top of the game in the consumer end with affordable innovations like sparkling Pais and beaujolais-style Pais, as well as fresh summery Muscat; as well as more premium endeavours like their top Empedrado Pinot Noir.

More about the wine

Selected from a very special lot in Leyda, this wine is made from the oldest plantings of Sauvignon Blanc in the region. The winemaking team always blind taste all their different lots to pick which one goes to barrel, and it always happens to be this same lot: 8B. The roots are so deep that they anticipate being able to dry harvest within the next couple of years.

More about the producers

Making cool climate varieties in Leyda, Garces Silva has a beautiful vineyard estate spreading over Leyda. Brands include Boya and Amayna and you can taste through Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah.

Leyda, Single Vineyard Garuma, Sauvignon Blanc

More on the wine

Coastal Sauvignon Blanc is one of Chile’s most emblematic wines, and this wine flies that flag high! A great example of Sauvignon Blanc from Leyda with all the freshness and citrus you expect from a coastal Sauvignon Blanc, but also some body to back it up.

More on the producer

Leyda was one of the first wineries to work in the Leyda region (hence why they got the name!) and their production always focuses on clean, fresh wines made from this cooler coastal climate. The winemaker Viviana Navarrete is one of Chile’s leading lady winemakers and consistently makes solid wines that deliver on price point and encapsulate Leyda in a bottle.

More on the producer

Rafael Tirado is part of the best know winemaking twins in South America. His brother Enrique makes one of Chile’s most prized and expensive wines under Chile’s largest producer Concha y Toro, while Rafael has opted for the other end of the spectrum: boutique and under the radar, although just as complex. His vineyards are planted in a maze-like formation near Lago Colbun in Maule.
