Buen Andres Sauvignon Blanc
Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, dry and cold, from a valley that earns it.
The story behind Buen Andres
Buen Andres Sauvignon Blanc comes from Viña San Andres, working trellised vineyards in Chile's Maule Valley. Warm days, cool evening breezes and alluvial soils shot through with clay and rounded river stones give the grapes a wide swing between day and night. That swing is the whole trick: it holds the acidity tight while the aromatics build slowly.
Winemaker Juan E. Sepúlveda picks by hand in late February and March, presses whole clusters gently, and ferments entirely in temperature controlled stainless steel. No oak, ever. After cold stabilization the wine runs through a 0.45 micron membrane filter, which is why it pours so clean. We have carried this label for years because it overdelivers at the price.
