The Secret de Viu Manent Sauvignon Blanc is made from grapes sourced from two Casablanca valley vineyards. The first is close to Casablanca town and the second is in Las Dichas just 11km from the sea and the valley’s coolest location. The soils in both vineyards contain Granite, with some quartz in Las Dichas, which bring a distinctive minerality to the wine. This wine is composed of 85% Sauvignon Blanc with the remaining 15% being a closely guarded secret. The distinctive collection of labels are interpretations of a secret by Chilean artist Catalina Abbott.
Tasting note
Very young, clean, and brilliant light greenish-yellow. Presents a very intense and delicate nose marked by fresh fruits and mineral notes such as sea salt, citrus peel, white onion, citrus and lime. This wine stands out for its character and freshness, with mineral and fruit flavors, pronounced acidity and body that lead to a long finish that ends on appetizing notes of green onion and thyme.
