Awards/Ratings
Selected scores: Vinous 94 (2022), Tim Atkin ~95, Houlberg 96, Falstaff 93 (earlier vintages). Cipreses has been highlighted at Decanter World Wine Awards and Concours Mondial du Sauvignon; broadly acclaimed as one of Chile's top Sauvignon Blancs

Tasting Note
Vibrant coastal Sauvignon with lime, pink grapefruit, gooseberry and green herbs, backed by flint/saline minerality and subtle tropical notes. Bright, concentrated palate with racy acidity and a long, saline finish.

Food Pairing
Oysters and shellfish, ceviche, seared scallops, grilled white fish, goat cheeses and fresh salads; sushi/sashimi, Vietnamese spring rolls, Thai green papaya salad, grilled prawns with lime, light poultry dishes.

Production Method
Hand‑harvested from Cipreses single-vineyard; parcels fermented separately (mainly stainless steel), ~10% barrel/lees ageing for texture, brief lees contact and light élevage before bottling.
