Producer & Region:
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes For the Motu Nui are grown in three excellent sites across the Leyda and San Antonio D.O. Not to mention the proximity of the vineyards to the Pacific Ocean (only 10km’s away) and its fresh coastal breezes ensures grapes ripen slowly. Therefore this allows the grapes to retain their natural citrus flavours and freshness but also to develop great aromatics.
Sauvignon Blanc grapes in Leyda are some of the first to be harvested in Chile. And winemaking is simple to preserve this crunchy, bright fruit. For example, cool fermentation in stainless steel is followed by a couple of months on their fine lees. This adds texture and depth. They bottle early to retain the primary characters, flavours and freshness of this enchanting fruit.
Boutinot’s winemaking team have been building relationships across Chile over the past two decades. They source the fruit and wine from across the Central Valleys. Hence, they work with a number of small family growers who pay particular attention to quality and ensure that their winemaking team has the best possible fruit to work with . On the whole freshness and purity are the preferred hallmarks of Boutinot’s Chilean wines.
Each vintage Boutinot winemaker Guillaume Letang travels the vineyards of their grower partners, blending that year’s truest expression’s of Chile’s unique terroirs.
