PRODUCT OVERVIEW:
Oveja Negra wines are prepared with grapes grown and harvested by hand in San Rafael vineyard, which is located in the heart of the Maule Valley. The use of sustainable grape-production practices, together with up-to-date wine-making techniques, results in fruity wines with a unique hallmark. Given the wide range of categories available, these can be enjoyed on many different occasions.
This 2019 is 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Carmenere (vinified white) are from vineyards planted on the banks of the Las Chilcas stream on the San Rafael Estate in the Maule Valley. These are the coolest vineyard locations on the Oveja Negra property which enables the production of grapes with good acidity and great aromatic expression. The Carmenere grapes are harvested very early in the season, in order to better retain their natural freshness and fruit expression. Both varieties are destemmed and pressed immediately. In the case of the Carmenere, only the clear-coloured juice from the grapes is used to prevent browning and the extraction of tannins that would affect the balance of the wine. The musts are statically settled at 50°F and then fermented at between 51.8°F and 57.2°F. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the varieties are blended and the wine is prepared for bottling.
Tasting Notes from the winery: Color: Shiny yellow with greenish hues. Aroma: Green apple, pineapple, grapefruit, freshly mown grass and apricots. Flavors:Tropical fruit and herbaceous notes. The Carmenere delivers persistence and an unusual structure for Sauvignon Blanc, as well as notes of stone fruit.
