Wine Description

Root: 1 Sauvignon Blanc vineyards are 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
“Ripe and full in the mouth, this Sauvignon Blanc evokes yellow wildflowers, stone fruit, and dense minerals. It has sufficient weight and flavor to pair with chicken breast or even simply prepared pork tenderloin. A good wine for many vegetarian dishes, too. Exceptional value!”
— International Wine Review, Feb 2017
