Caliterra Tributo Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Algarrobo Block

Wine information: Caliterra was established in 1996 as a joint venture between the families of Robert Mondavi and Vina Errazuriz In January 2004 Vina Errazuriz became the sole owners of Caliterra, at the heart of which is the impressive 1000ha Caliterra Estate. The name Caliterra is taken from 'Calidad' spanish for quality and 'Tierra' - land. The wine making philosophy of Caliterra is to produce fruit driven quality wines. Viña Caliterra is located in the heart of Colchagua, a protected valley southeast of Lago Rapel and adjoining the Apalta Valley, 150 meters above sea level. However the grapes for the Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from the from the Leyda Valley, located 100 kms north west from the Caliterra Estate. This valley opens directly onto the Pacific Ocean, where the morning fog and the proximity to the coast regulates the temperature. The cooler climate is ideal for Sauvignon Blanc production.

Tasting Notes: Caliterra Tributo Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc has a very pale yellow colour and greenish highlights on the edge. Soft aromas of green asparagus, lemon and tangerines, complemented with mineral notes are on the palate.

Food & drink match: Try with grilled and roasted white meats, fish / shelfish or perhaps salads and picnics.
