"The 2006-2007 season in the Cachapoal Valley was colder than expected but with the usual level of rainfall during the winter. Spring temperatures were average and budding occurred early in the season. There was a frost that affected the central part of the country on October the 10th, causing some damage to our Sauvignon Blanc in Requinoa. Therefore we had no need to do a green harvest as Nature did it for us. We also had an earlier flowering in November, but the season was very dry, allowing for perfect maturation without any rain. We started picking during the second week of March, and as always employed a strict selection, harvesting block by block only fruit at the maturity we wanted. The results were very promising with beautifully expressive fruit and bright acidity"

Color is bright and attractive light yellow with hints of straw and green. Nose has expressive fresh citrus fruit on entry, followed by sweet hints of white flowers and delicate notes of lychee and fig. Palate is young and pleasant, with fresh acidity followed by a delicate sweetness and abundant citrus aromas that persist in the palate. Light and elegant. Serve chilled as an aperitif. Always the ideal companion for appetizers and seafood, also compliments spicy cuisine.
