Casas Del Bosque Sauvignon Blanc Pequeñas Producciones 2018
Bright straw color with hints of green. Expressive lime, linden blossom and jalapeño aromas on the nose. On the palate, this Sauvignon blanc has creamy, yeasty notes counterbalanced by crisp minerality and firm structure. The finish is salivating and long.

Casas del Bosque vineyards are located in Las Dichas, one of the coolest areas near the sea in Casablanca. This Sauvignon comes from that place, and it is the result of a selection of vineyards of clonal material that were planted in granitic and clay soils which are typical in the areas closer to the Coastal range of mountains. The harvest was cold, and this wine shines on herbal notes in a medium body of rich and crunchy acidity. It is long, with a slight bitterness towards the end that adds gustatory complexity before disturbing. And the flavors continue for a long time in the mouth.
All fruit was harvested from our own vineyard – located within the coolest, westernmost reaches of the Casablanca Valley. Sourced from a mixture of two clones (60% clone 107 from the “Trampa” and 40% clone 242 from the “Cantera” blocks) from hillsides plantings on decomposed granite from the Jurassic with a thin topsoil of iron-rich red clay. The blocks used in this blend were cropped at an average of 6.5 tons per hectare (2.7 tons per acre).
