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.
