Valle Central, Chile
A savory and rich Sauvignon Blanc from iconic Valle Central, Chile

Viña Salas y Gómez
Sauvignon Blanc
Our winemaking partner, Rodrigo Moletto, has incredible global winemaking experience. He chose to craft this Sauvignon Blanc in a more rounded style than typically expected from the varietal.

An environment of the sort makes vines work incredibly hard for the proper nutrients, which results in bold flavors and natural acidity that bursts from the glass. The 2020 growing season was slow in Valle Central, which allowed for aromatic components of the wine to develop fully. Fantastic on ...

WINE REGION:
Valle Central
The expansive, warm flatlands of Chile's Valle Central are home to most of the country's vineyards. This long stretch of land from Santiago to Itata Valley is divided into four sub-regions, each with its own climate and reputation. There is Maipo Valley with its minty Cabernet Sauvignon, Rapel Valley with its spicy Carménère and the Curicó and Maule Valleys, famous for concentrated Carignan made from old vines. Throughout the valley—which is prized for its rich, volcanic soils—the hot days and cool nights result in ripe, well-balanced grapes. Some of the most common Valle Central wines are fruit-forward reds made from plummy Merlot and pear-flavored whites crafted from Chardonnay.

TASTING NOTES:
Tropical Fruit
Lime
Lemon
Made in a more savory and textural style than your typical Sauvignon Blanc, this wine has bold, fresh lemon and lime flavors that cut through the richness. Salinity and sea salt brine that comes from influences off of the nearby Pacific Ocean balance with a bright acidity that will make you reach for another glass, guaranteed.
