About This Wine


Literaria '42

Sauvignon Blanc

The Valle Central in Chile is one of the largest producing regions in the Southern Hemisphere. Stretching 250 miles north to south down the middle of the country, the appellation experiences a classic continental climate with maritime influences, thanks to the nearby Pacific Ocean. Our winemaking partners have been growing wine in the region for over 30 years and primarily work with young vines. The grainy soils hold water deep in the ground, which forces grapes to work a bit harder than usual to find nutrients but creates incredible flavors in the final wines. Our latest vintage of Literaria ’42 Sauvignon Blanc hails from vines that saw a stellar season. Fruit ripened slowly under skies that saw little rain, which resulted in beautifully concentrated aromatics. This wine is austere and lean, with dazzling fruit-forward flavors and a fresh mouthfeel.

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.
