Product Description

La Playa Sauvignon Blanc

CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE & VEGAN
La Playa wines have always been farmed sustainably. Our early motivation in using these green practices was easy: Sustainable grapes yield the cleanest and more pure varietals.

NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER
A delicate pale gold. On the nose, aromas of lemon, fresh pineapple with hints of lavender. It is a bright well balanced wine with a clean minerality and touch of lime on the finish.

The Curicio Valley is situated 185 km (115 mi) south of the Chilean capital of Santiago, the northeast portion of the Maule Region. Like the southern tip of Spain, they share a similar latitude of 35°S.  Our vineyards are planted in the eastern part near the Andes Mountains which is the coolest portion within the Curico valley.  Influenced by the Mediterranean climate this region is one of the best regions in Chile to produce consistent Sauvignon Blanc with fresh, lively acidity.
