Hailing from the cool-climate Casablanca Valley within the broader Aconcagua region, the Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc Block 5 is a masterclass in maritime-influenced viticulture. Sourced specifically from Block 5 of the El Triángulo Vineyard, located just miles from the Pacific Ocean, the vines benefit from morning fogs and cooling sea breezes that prolong the ripening season. This unique microclimate allows the grapes to develop intense aromatic complexity while retaining a vibrant, electric acidity. Winemaker Ignacio Recabarren pioneered this expression, focusing on minimal intervention and stainless steel fermentation to preserve the pure, saline minerality and herbaceous, citrus-driven character that defines Chile's premier coastal white wines.
