Matetic Vineyards Description
Pale yellow in color with delicate greens hues. The complex nose is dominated by citrus and tropical aromas like mango, papaya and grapefruit peel, with nuances of light herbal notes and the typical crispiness that this variety shows in coastal cool climates. The palate is fresh and vivid, crisp and concentrated, very fruity with a salty mineral dimension leading to a lingering finish.
Perfect companion for fish, specially raw fish dishes like ceviche, tuna tiradito, carpaccio, sushi or with light sauces, oysters, scallops, salads, goat or blue cheese.
The grapes for our EQ Coastal Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from our Valle Hermoso vineyard, located just 12 km from the Pacific Ocean, and planted on gentle hills where they are directly influenced by the cool coastal climate. This closeness to the coast lends unique characteristics to the grapes.
The grapes were destemmed and underwent a cool maceration lasting an average of 12 hours before being pressed in oxygen-less conditions through the use of inert gas, preserving the grapes’ aromatic potential. Alcoholic fermentation took place at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks of varying sizes, where the wine then remained for 4 months in contact with its fine lees. Around 30% of the must fermented either in 700-liter concrete amphora or French oak barrels with 228–400 liter capacity, to enhance the mineral notes, texture, and mouth feel of the wine.
