TERRUNYO CHILEAN SAUVIGNON PROMOTION
As featured in an issue of Wine Enthusiast:TERRUNYO CHILEAN SAUVIGNON BLANC RANKED AMONG THE WORLD'S FINEST Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc appears in the July issue of Wine Enthusiast with an impressive score of 90 points and positioned in the 11th slot of a 150-strong worldwide Sauvignon Blanc tasting. Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc was described as "Clean, fresh and fruit-forward, with aromas of passion fruit, lemon-lime and peach. It's all about the fruit here, but along the way there's good body and perfectly balanced acidity. Grape fruit and a tiny hint of mineral grace the long finish. A persistent, cheerful white; probably the best Sauvignon Blanc from Chile."The Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc aims at expressing the potential of a specific vineyard block, 'Block 28', within the specific vineyards of El Triángulo, at its very best. The winemaker in charge is Ignacio Recabarren, who stayed for two and a half years in New Zealand, one of the New World's emblematic Sauvignon Blanc producers, to specialize in this variety. During the nineties he came back to Chile to join those in favour of developing Casablanca Valley as a gifted origin for white wines.100% SAUVIGNON BLANC BLOCK 28 (hillside plantation) El Triángulo, Casablanca Valley.
