We've known for a long time that Chile produces beautiful wines. However, after all these years, we continue to see an increase in quality. Each year, the wines become better, more complex, and more flavorful. With this Mapu Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay, that's no surprise. The winemaker behind this successful Chilean white wine is the Rothschild family, a dynasty renowned for its Bordeaux wines for decades. Since the mid-1990s, Baroness Philippine De Rothschild has owned vineyards in Chile, where she has shaken up the Chilean wine world with her Mapu wines.
Vineyards of Mapu Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay
The vineyards where the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay grow are situated in the most beautiful locations in the Maule Valley, a wine region about 250 kilometers south of Santiago. Here, the climate is slightly cooler than in the northern regions, meaning the sea breeze has a strong influence on the grapes. This creates a particularly strong harmony between the freshness of the Sauvignon Blanc and the full, fruity character of the Chardonnay. It's no wonder this Mapu Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay is a personal favorite of one of our vinologists.
