About This Wine


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. Sourced from mostly young vines and featuring fresh citrus flavors, this wine has a briny salinity that adds an incredible texture. Stretching 250 miles long throughout Chile’s narrow boundaries, the Valle Central is a workhorse for Chilean wine production. Fruit experiences a cooler climate thanks to the nearby influences of the chilly Pacific Ocean and is planted in fine-grained soils that retain water. 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 its own on a weekend afternoon or paired with salty cheeses, fresh fish, or vegetable dishes of all kinds.

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.

  • A figure representing the Lemon tasting note. Lemon

Made in a more savory and textural style than your typical Sauv Blanc, this wine has bold, fresh lemon and lime flavors that cut through the richness. Salinity that comes from influences off of the nearby Pacific Ocean balance with a bright acidity creates a mouthwatering experience.
