The Coast Is Clear To Toast Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc has found the ideal terroir to bring out its best characteristics along the coast of Chile in the Casablanca Valley. Located a mere 9 km inland from the Pacific Ocean, the Humboldt Current delivers consistent cool sea breezes. Matetic winery’s vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic. The brand name of the wine is EQ which stands for being in equilibrium with nature in all aspects of grape growing and wine making. Fermentation and aging in combination of stainless steel, concrete eggs and oak gives us a delicious, complex end result. Pale yellow with green hues, the nose is dominated by citrus and tropical aromas. The palate is vivid, fresh and concentrated with a lingering finish. Hailing from close to the ocean, seafood, naturally, would be the best companion for this wine. Seafood ceviche, tuna carpaccio, sushi with light sauces, oysters or scallops come to mind. Chile’s Descorchados wine guide scored it at 95 points.
