Casa Marin Sauvignon Blanc Cipreses - 2022 (750ml)

Winemaker's Notes:

Our Cipreses Sauvignon Blanc is the flagship in our portfolio. With its numerous awards, including two-time winner for Best Sauvignon Blanc in the World (Concours Mondial du Sauvignon 2010 and Decanter World Wine Awards 2010), this wine is considered Chile's best Sauvignon Blanc and among the best Sauvignon Blancs in the world. The grapes originate in granite and limestone soil slopes, exposed to the cool wind of the Humboldt Current. Often described as an extremely seductive wine, a mix of stone fruit cocktail, green citrus aromas, wet stones, and mineral hints that add an exotic feel. On the palate it is saline, crisp, and clean, resulting in a unique finesse.
Ageing potential: Thanks to its low pH and high acidity this wine has a great aging potential. You can drink it young or let it age up to 8 years.

Food Pairing: The fresh acidity and structure makes this wine very versatile. Delicious to enjoy on its own during a warm summer day or paired with fresh salads, goat cheese, and all kinds of seafood.

94 points Vinous

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc from Lo Abarca, San Antonio, hails from Los Cipreses Vineyards, planted in granite soils over a layer of calcium carbonate. Yellow in the glass with a steely sheen. The intense, complex nose features notes of yellow pepper, rue, hints of grass and lime, followed by seaside aromas. Concentrated and fatty in the mouth, the taut, chalky palate achieve a tense balance quite unique in Chile. - Joaquin Hidalgo

This 2022 vintage commemorates the 20th version of one of the classics in the modern era of Chilean wine. It comes from vineyards planted in 2000 on granitic soils facing the sea, in the Lo Abarca zone, about four kilometers from the Pacific. Although there have been some adjustments to the style, this sauvignon is still an example of a coastal white, but on the riper and more voluptuous side. It has always been defined by its texture and acidity and the way in which they dialogue—on the one hand, its creaminess, on the other, that tense, sharp acidity that brings balance. The rest is about the flavors and aromas that range from herbs to well-ripened white fruits. A modern classic.

Robert Parker's Joaquin Hidalgo has said, "among the finest Sauvignon Blancs from the country year in year out."
