Leyda Coastal Vineyards Kadún Sauvignon Gris 2021

Valle de Leyda, Valle de San Antonio, Region de Aconcagua, ChileFrom El Granito vineyard, this sauvignon gris was planted in 2010, just 4km from the Pacific Ocean. This is one of the most extreme vineyards in Chile. The grapes for this wine come from a granitic soiled plot planted on marine terraces. Whole cluster fruit was fermented in 66% concrete vats and the remainder in older 400L barrels, where it remained on lees with bâtonnage over 7 months. Tart tangerine, pear skin, gooseberry rules the brisk palate, lashed with marine salinity. There's a subtly smoky stoniness woven throughout, making this particularly savoury and food friendly for grilled seafood / veg.Tasted: 06 March 2023Tasted by: Prices:
