Very interesting wine from a tropical climate, that is achieved by double pruning vines to invert the growing cycle, thus allowing grapes to be picked in the autumn. This is a Sauvignon Blanc driven blend (83%) with a touch of Viognier (4%) and Chardonnay (13%) grown in high altitude (around 900m) in the northern part of the São Paulo Estate. It displays elegant and subtle aromas of elderflower, stone fruits, passion fruit, pears and lemongrass. On the palate it is sophisticated and harmonious, with balancing freshness.
