Production Method
Hand-harvested grapes from Zapallar. Cold maceration (12–24h), controlled low-temperature fermentation (10–12°C) in stainless steel, 6–8 months on fine lees, unoaked, filtered and bottled under screwcap.

Vineyard Info
Produced by Viña Montes (founded 1987 by Aurelio Montes et al.). Single-vineyard at ~680m, 7 km from the Pacific; clay-rich soils and cool maritime influence produce high-acid, mineral whites.
