Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 13.5%)

Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc is a certified organic Chilean Sauvignon Blanc from the Casablanca Valley, bottled at 13.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is produced entirely from estate-grown fruit on biodynamic vineyards. The vineyards sit on sandy decomposed granite and alluvial soils in one of Chile's coolest coastal wine regions, where Pacific fog and morning mists help preserve natural acidity. Farming moved from conventional to organic from 2012, with biodynamic agriculture introduced in 2014 and completed in 2017, using compost, cover crops and sheep and alpacas. The nose opens with fresh herbs and lime zest, then grassy, slightly peppery notes, citrus and subtle floral aromas. The palate has tart lemon and green apple, vibrant acidity, citrus and green vegetal flavours with underlying minerality. The finish is crisp and lemony, with lime pith and cut grass.
