Espiritu de Chile Intrepido Patrimonial Reserva White 2019
A crisp, fresh and fruity white blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Moscatel.
Made from grapes harvested from Chile's most traditional winemaking region, Curicó Valley. This blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Moscatel stands out for its citrus and tropical fruits with a hint of white flowers. The finish is fresh with crisp acidity. Ideal to accompany seafood dishes.
This racy white gets its creamy texture from the Semillón grape, its acidity and tropical fruit character from Sauvignon Blanc and its floral notes from Moscatel. This is exactly the same winning combination used in Bordeaux to produce the region’s prestigious white wines.
Chilean whites are often overlooked in favour of its juicy, fruit-driven reds. However, some of Chile’s whites are offering the more adventurous wine drinker some elegant and interesting alternatives. With the fresh and fruity Patrimonial White Blend, Espíritu de Chile is giving a new lease of life to the aromatic Semillón grape.
It is a variety which was one of the most important grapes in Chile’s history but which was replanted with international alternatives at the end of the last century. Patrimonial means hereditary in English so it’s exciting to see the winemakers at Espíritu de Chile crafting a wine that is both delicious and reflects the nation’s winemaking heritage.
