Sauvignon Blanc

The name already reveals that Sauvignon Blanc is a white grape variety. First documented in 1710, it is now the second most important variety internationally after Chardonnay. A natural crossing of Traminer and Chenin Blanc, it probably originated in western France, in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux. Sauvignon Blanc made the leap overseas in the late 18th century, first reaching Chile and the USA, and finally New Zealand in the 1970s. Today it is grown worldwide, with around 180,000 hectares planted. It is also gaining ground in Germany, particularly in the Palatinate, Rheinhessen and Baden, where growers increasingly favour this variety described in France as a noble grape. Sauvignon Blanc is particularly comfortable in a temperate climate with alternating warm and cool spells and occasional rainfall. As a single-variety wine, it is fresh with distinct currant and gooseberry aromas, often accompanied by green notes of freshly cut grass. Elegant minerality and typical acidity support its unmistakable character. It is an excellent partner for fish and seafood, or pasta with cream sauces.

Emiliana

Chile is the oldest wine-producing country in the southern hemisphere. Wine came to the new continent with the Spanish in the 16th century. The favourable climate, with hot, dry summers, and the isolated geographical position between mountains and sea create ideal conditions for organic viticulture. Disease and fungal infections are rare.

In this sheltered enclave between the Andes and the Pacific, young winegrower Alvaro Espinosa produces organic wines of exceptional quality. Behind this lies a great deal of work and an innovative spirit determined to keep ecology at the centre of everything. Like no other, he embodies the application of extensive knowledge gained during his studies to the practice of biodynamic farming. His success rests on a sound training in oenology, acquired during years spent abroad in France and California.

At the modern estate, he works with agricultural engineer Carolina Fernandes to realise his visions for wine. High-quality wines are the reward for this commitment. It is also important that these wines differ distinctly from European wines. Alvaro Espinoza achieves this by planting grape varieties precisely where they can best express their typical character. Careful site selection and Chile's ideal climatic conditions produce terroir-driven wines that make tasting them a special experience. He is an organic winegrower out of conviction. The success and quality of his wines vindicate him. His wines regularly win awards at international tastings.
