Sauvignon Gris is a rare variety in the New World. In the mid 19th century, when the Cousiño family imported vine cuttings from the Graves region in Bordeaux, they also brought this Sauvignon variety, Varietal #197. Over time, the Sauvignon Gris adapted superbly to the Maipo Valley, yielding a wine with distinct aromas of wildflowers, citrus and spicy fruits, with decidedly fuller body and richer texture than it's Sauvignon siblings.
