Casa Marin Estero Vineyard Sauvignon Gris / 2024 / 75cl

When Casa Marin’s first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc was released, it was heralded by Robert Parker as the ‘best white wine made in South America’ – a moment of great satisfaction for Maria Luz Marin, who had to fight to be allowed to plant her vineyards in Lo Abarca, only 5km from the sea.

Here Maria is exploring Sauvignon Gris, source from vines that are around 15 years old planted on a mixture of loam, clay and volcanic soils. With the ocean only 4km away, and average temperatures of 15°C, it's a site perfectly suited to precise, clean whites.

Sauvignon Gris, or in French known as Fié. A favourite among many chefs and sommeliers around the world. Powerful floral and spicy aromas with a touch of pink grapefruit. The palate is ripe and mouth filling, with a touch of smoky French oak, floral characters and fresh grape, asparagus flavours. Flavours linger on the palate and the fresh acidity ensures a crisp clean impeccable finish.
