ABOUT THIS WINE:
25 Degrees
Sauvignon Blanc
Chile is an amazing place for winemakers to hone their craft. Sitting at 25 degrees latitude, the country spans some of the most diverse microclimates and mesoclimates on Earth. Stretching along 6,000 km of Pacific coastline and into the Andes mountains, Chile contains vineyards thousands of meters above sea level and all the way down to the ocean. Winemakers can pick and choose what types of grapes they want to achieve the perfect balance of acidity and alcohol. The 25 Degrees Sauvignon Blanc is intensely refreshing, with a zesty, mouth puckering acidity. The wine has beautiful, fresh fruit flavors that are offset by fun grassy, herbaceous notes. Our experts say it is a great year-round white. Judges like it too! It took home a Silver Medal at the 2018 Critics Challenge and the International Women's Wine Competition!

WINE REGION:
Chile
In recent years, Chile has increasingly produced incredible wines of exceptional value. With a setting influenced by the Andes Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, the Atacama Desert and even Antarctica, Chile is a diverse land with rocky foothills, lush valley floors and cool coastal zones. Chile gained international renown for its New World take on classic Bordeaux varieties. Interestingly, it's an obscure red Bordeaux variety—Carménère—that has become Chile's signature grape. But other Old World varieties do equally well in Chile; Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay have all become mainstays of Chilean wine, exhibiting impressive levels of quality and balance in the country's distinct terroirs.

TASTING NOTES:
Grass
Lemon
Mineral
Chilean Sauvignon Blanc marries two unique styles: the more reserved old world style from the Loire and the fresh and more fruit focused style of New Zealand. Optimum ripeness is balanced with vibrant acidity and creates its own identity with light leafy complexity as a result of a sunny climate and cooling influence of the mountains. Try pairing this with fresh, lighter foods as the weather gets warm outside.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
25 Degrees
While most of the world's winemaking regions fall between 30 to 50 degrees latitude, Chile has a unique advantage that allows it to be an exception to this rule. The northern tip of this slender country sits at the 25th parallel, where growing conditions would usually be too hot. However, altitudes in Chile's dramatic landscape range from sea level to the 22,608-foot summit of Ojos Del Salado, the world's highest active volcano. These heights keep vineyards cool while allowing them to benefit from the bright Chilean sun. 25 Degrees takes pride in being the anomaly with intensely flavorful wines that are as captivating and unique as the land they hail from.
