Montes Classic Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Description

VINEYARDS
The vineyards are located in the Aconcagua Coast region and planted on granitic soils with a predominance of clay, although some sectors have sandier soils. Most of the vineyards are planted on low to moderate hills with diverse exposures and different clones, such as 1, 242, 5, and 107, each of which contributes to the final complexity of the wine. The vineyards are trained to vertical shoot position and have densities of 2,666–6,250 plants per hectare. Pruning aims to achieve good canopies that keep the fruit covered during the months when sunlight is the most intense. This helps maintain the freshness and varietal expression in the grapes. Yields are medium to low, with an average of 10 tons per hectare.
