Producer Tasting Note:

This is a lovely premium Sauvignon, a real step up from entry level. Bright, pale yellow colour with green highlights, It has a refreshing juicy style, with complex notes of fresh grass and asparagus overlaying citrus (lemon/gooseberry) fruits and a touch of guava. The finish is long and satisfying.

Vina Requingua was founded by Achurra Larrain in 1961 and alongside new generations of his family, he has grown the winery to be amongst Chile’s top 20 producers. The vineyards are located in the Curico Valley, where a mild- Mediterranean-like climate and varied soils offer superb conditions for growing many different varieties. Long, dry summers with radiant days and cool nights help the grapes attain the maximum potential. Winemaking is led by Benoit Fitte, who left his native France to join the winery in 2001.

Food Match: This wine is great as an aperitif or to enjoy with oysters, asparagus, white meats, salads, or even a summer barbecue.
