The Echeverría family came to Chile in the 1750s, from a little town called Amezqueta in the Basque region of Spain. They established agricultural crops and planted vines. Today the company is a global enterprise. Echeverria has always been at the forefront of the modern Chilean wine industry while honouring tradition and respecting the environment. This tradition is expressed through their wines which are classic and elegant in style and showcase intense fruit aromas and flavours which are the hallmarks of Chilean wine thanks to the country’s privileged terroir and climatic conditions. Echeverria has an extensive portfolio of over 30 wines from over 10 different grape varieties and several wine growing regions.
Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001. Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels. Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.
Tasting Notes
This Sauvignon Blanc is part of the Viña Echeverría Reserva range which is characterized by its lively and fruity appeal. This vibrant and pristine Sauvignon Blanc combines grassy aromas of fresh herbs and green pepper, with citric notes of grapefruit and lime. The palate is fresh and crisp, with a natural balanced acidity and a fruity finish. An excellent aperitif wine but also pairs well with shellfish, crustaceans, delicate white fish or white meat dishes. Sashimi and sushi, salads or goat’s cheese.
Method
The vineyards at Viña Echeverría are located in the Curicó Valley, at the 35th parallel south, and the rows are planted in an east-westerly direction to potentiate the sun’s exposure. They emply micro viticulture, which means that each plot, no more than half a hectare, is identified according to its terroir and microclimate and planted, pruned, irrigated and harvested accordingly, resulting in grapes of optimum quality and flavor.
Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes from ungrafted selected clones of pre-phylloxera French rootstock. Careful selection of grapes before crushing. Destemmed and chilled to 8°C before pressing and settling prior to fermentation with selected yeasts. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at 14-16°C constant temperature for 25 days. Stored in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks through bottling.
