Root:1 Sauvignon Blanc

Wine Description

The Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is located in Tapihue, a central portion of Chile’s famed Casablanca Valley that sits less than 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean. Maritime breezes keep temperatures cool while the bright daytime sun encourages a lengthy growing season, resulting in wines with bright, tropical and citrus flavors. The Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc is aged on the lees for two months in order to broaden the palate richness.

Acclaim
“Produced from a maritime-influenced grape-growing region, this wine delivers excellent and focused aromas of dried herbs and green melon. Its flavors of herbs, earth, and tart citrus, with the winery's two months of lees aging for additional weight on the palate, invite a pairing of seared sea scallops in a decadent savory cream sauce.”
