This Sauvignon Blanc is a true, honest expression of the Casablanca terroir. The wine is light straw in color with expressive tropical fruit aromas of guavas, gooseberries, passion fruit, peaches and a hint of green grassiness. The acid is firm, but not overpowering. The palate is lush, long and weighty. This is a bold, overt, block-selected Sauvignon Blanc.
Over the past few years Casablanca has emerged as one of Chile’s foremost regions for cool-climate varieties
such as Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Vintage after vintage, the temperate weather and shallow soils
produce wines that are intensely aromatic and vividly reflect each variety. Our 2008 Alcance Sauvignon Blanc
features fruit from sand and clay hillside blocks located 25 miles from the Pacific Ocean.
