Winemaker Herman Gras
100% Sauvignon Blanc
“The philosophy is to create modern Chilean wines that offer exceptional quality and value and reflect the specific terroir from which the grapes came from. We have all the equipment and technology but it’s the people that make the difference. Crafting wine is an art in which you must use all your senses”. Hernan Gras, President and Winemaker.
Feedback from the experts would indicate the success of this approach; De Gras wines won a host of awards in the International competitions last year, including a Silver Award at the IWC for the De Gras Reserva Merlot.
Food Matching Note :
Drinks very well with shellfish - particularly prawns or lobster and will compliment salads, club sandwiches and pasta, particularly with chicken or ham.
Tasting Note :
Straw yellow in colour with delicate citrus and melon aromas and a hint of fresh cut grass. Well balanced melon, citrus and herbal notes with a crisp acidity that makes this wine racy and refreshing. Good volume that fills the palate giving a pleasant and lingering finish.
Vinification Note :
Individual parcels of grapes are selected from within the MontGras estate for their ripe fruit character and acidic balance. They are crushed gently and fermented cool at controlled temperatures in stainless steel. After settling, they are filtered and fined before bottling.
