2024 Viña Casa Marín Sauvignon Blanc Viñedo Cipreses

Viña Casa Marín was founded in 2000 by winemaker Maria Luz Marín, who had one thing in mind: to make 'terroir wines' in Chile. Her project was both innovative and daring, but she is now loved and praised and an example for many others in Chile! María Luz is the first female winemaker and winery in Chile. After graduating from the University of Chile with a degree in agronomy and winemaking, Maria Luz worked in various wineries, including Romanee Contie. She has successfully positioned her fine, delicate wines in the top markets and among international critics, where they stand out for their high quality. Today, Vina Casa Marín is among the best in Chile and is a model of fine, elegant cool-climate wines.

María Luz is clear: the Cipreses is 'the flagship in our portfolio'. This wine has already been named the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world twice (Concours Mondial du Sauvignon and Decanter World Wine Awards). The basis for this lies in the vineyard. It is rich in granite and slate, and benefits from the coolness of the Humboldt River. The vines are planted on a hill, in rows that run from north to south. Thanks to an optimal sun exposure, the grapes ripen perfectly and get the best out of the special soil of red clay, volcanic material and limestone. A wine full of character, depth and richness, and a perfect expression of the chalky terroir of Lo Abarca. Delicious sauvignon aromas of gooseberry and freshly mown grass burst out of the glass. The taste is pure and clean, and offers notes of stone fruit, citrus fruit and minerals.
