Sauvignon Gris is a rare variety in the New World. In the mid 19th century, when the Cousiño family imported vine cuttings from the Graves region in Bordeaux, they also brought this Sauvignon variety, Varietal # 917. Over time, the Sauvignon Gris adapted superbly to the Maipo Valley,yielding a wine with distinct aromas of wildflowers, citrus and spicy fruits, with decidedly fuller body and richer texture than it’s Sauvignon siblings.

Cousiño's vineyards are located in the Alto-Maipo, the area of the Maipo Valley closest to the Andes where certain sites benefit from the "Andes Effect". This refers to the cooling mountain air that descends during the evenings to create a wide range in daily temperature. Typically, during the growing season, the daytime high of 30°C (90°F) will see the evening temperature drop to 10°C (50°F). For the white wines, this difference between high and low temperatures means that grapes preserve unusually crisp acidity and the resulting wine is full-flavored and structurally balanced.

Clear, brilliant golden colour. A surprisingly fresh and sharp bouquet, with predominating touches of juicy pineapple, French lemon peel and other citrus notes. It is fresh, sparkly, and deliciously joyful on the palate.
