Vina Haras de Pirque, 'Albaclara', Sauvignon Blanc, Maipo Valley, Chile, 2012

Overview of the Wine
Haras de Pirque is located in the easternmost part of the Maipo Valley, in the foothills of the Andes, in an area that enjoys extremely favorable climatic and geographic conditions. The territory is strongly influenced by the mountainous climate and by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean; summers are hot and dry and are balanced by cool, humid ocean breezes and colder nights. Beneficial temperature swings and the resulting extended growing season ensure a slow, ideal ripening phase and optimal development of the fruit’s aromatic compounds. 

Marchesi Antinori’s strong entrepreneurial spirit and passion for innovation led to their presence in Chile. Haras de Pirque estate was born with the quest to produce high quality organic wines and explore Chile’s vast winemaking potential while focusing on expressing the Maipo Valley’s extraordinary terroir.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Albaclara offers a luminous light-yellow color. The nose is intense, and shows a striking and pleasurable vibrance along with notes of citrus fruit and herbs and an excellent freshness created by influence of the coastal zone of cultivation. The palate is persistent with notes of mint and citrus fruit sustained by much savor and crispness.
