Sauvignon Blanc, Curicó Valley, Chile

The Echeverria family has been making wine since 1740, originally growing fruit before they shifted to bottling their own, sustainably farmed wines in 1990. And thank goodness they did! Organically grown from pre-phylloxera vines, the grapes undergo a 45-day maceration to create this all-around satisfying treat. Amber like the afternoon sun reflected off a snowbank, light-bodied with a juicy texture and notes of tangerine curd, green apple, orange blossom, manuka honey & rubbing your face in a handful of wildflowers (okay we miss spring). Drink on that plus 5º day while your nose momentarily de-thaws and a bit of sleepy grass peeks through your white-capped iceberg of a front garden. Spoiler alert! We’ve known talented winemaker, sweet peach and 4th generation grape grower Roberto Echeverria FOREVER and he and his wines are beyond lovely. A very special GW collab is coming in 2023!
