Morandé Pionero Sauvignon Blanc Reserva 2023
An exceptional Sauvignon Blanc with really vivid aromas of grapefruit, peach and herbs. The palate is juicy and full of flavour, yet dry and refreshing to finish.
This vineyards are located in the Yerbas Buenas sector of the Andean foothills in Maule, planted on sandy clay-loam soil of alluvial origin. The grapes were harvested in early April.
The grapes were crushed and pressed, and a proportion were left to macerate on the skins for four hours. The juice was then fermented for around twenty-eight days at 10-12ºC. No malolactic fermentation took place, but carbon dioxide was used to rouse the lees in tank, adding to the wine's texture.

Morandé was founded in 1996 by Pablo Morandé, and found immediate recognition both domestically and abroad. Morandé are true pioneers – they were the first family to develop the Casablanca D.O., recognising the fantastic potential of this cool-climate wine region. They also led the way in reviving old viticultural regions such as Maule and Itata, working with old dry-farmed bush vines and unconventional varieties such as Carignan, País and Cinsault. All of the wines are produced with grapes from Morandé’s own vineyards. Their winemaking philosophy is guided by seeking the right terroir for each grape variety, and with significant vineyard holdings they are well placed to achieve this.
