Blanco Granitico

A Los Viñateros Bravos · Itata, Chile

The wine is the expression of a field blend of about 60% Muscatel and 40% Semillon. This is an artisanal wine from start to finish. The wine shows bright fresh stone fruits (peach), floral notes (orange blossom), and citrus fruits (grapefruit).

The wine has a persistent finish with a slight salinity reflection of the proximity of the Pacific Ocean. The granite soil is responsible for the bright acid, and mineral notes in the wine.
