The cream of the crop in the Montgras range. Years ago, Amaral Sauvignon Blanc was one of the best-selling Sauvignon Blanc wines in the Netherlands! And it's back! And how! We're practically standing at the dock waiting to welcome the container of Amaral Sauvignon Blanc, we're so incredibly excited. Since our first sip of this vintage, we've been completely smitten again and are certain that Montgras' Amaral Sauvignon Blanc will once again take the Netherlands by storm.
The wines of Montgras
Since 2006, Montgras has owned the Amaral vineyard. The vineyard is located in Leyda, a little further north but also exceptionally close to the Pacific Ocean. This creates unique conditions at the Amaral vineyard. The freshness of the ocean, in particular, is clearly evident here.
For fifteen years now, we've been enjoying Amaral Sauvignon Blanc. A true masterpiece that true wine lovers absolutely adore. This is all thanks to the relentless expansion of Montgras' founders, Hernan and Aduardo Gras. They immediately saw the potential of the Amaral vineyard, located just 12 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean. The Sauvignon Blanc, in particular, is wonderfully fresh, vibrant, and even a little crispy here.
Impressions of Amaral Sauvignon Blanc
Now, settle in and enjoy this! A true crown jewel among Montgras wines. The ocean's influence is clearly evident in Amaral Sauvignon Blanc, both in aroma and taste. Connoisseurs sometimes call Amaral Sauvignon Blanc the Chilean Sancerre, thanks to its refined and mineral character. Your senses will be captivated. With white flowers in bloom, fresh tangerine zest, crisp lime, and vibrant gooseberries. The acidity is present yet beautifully rounded, making Amaral Sauvignon Blanc a refreshing pleasure.
