Ritual Sauvignon Blanc 2016 - Veramonte

 The Ritual Sauvignon Blanc from Veramonte is an excellent, grape varietal white wine from the Chilean wine region Valle de Casablanca. 

A clear straw yellow with greenish-golden reflections shimmers in this wine in the glass. The fragrant bouquet offers aromas typical of grape varieties - ripe gooseberries unfold together with intense citrus fruits and juicy peaches as well as nectarines, accompanied by filigree hints of cassis flowers. The palate enjoys the fresh and lively character of this Chilean white wine. The citric notes harmonize wonderfully with the wonderfully integrated acidity, which is accompanied by a mineral touch. The long finale is perfectly underpinned by a delicate melt. 

Vinification of Veramonte Ritual Sauvignon Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc grapes for this white wine grow in selected plots in the Casablanca Valley. During the night, the berries are picked by hand to preserve freshness. In the wine cellar, the harvested material is selected twice and then pressed as a whole. 

must is fermented by the cellar master in three different ways: 30% of this must flows into concrete eggs, 30% into oak barrels and 40% into stainless steel tanks. Due to the different fermentation methods, the entire aroma spectrum can naturally present all different facets. After the fermentation processes, this white wine remains on the fine yeast for 8 months with 14-day battonnage (stirring of the yeast).
