Drinking Window: 2022 - 2025
Located 12km from the coast, Leyda's El Maitén vineyard benefits from cool Pacific breezes and provides the grapes for Garuma, which is named after a small Chilean gull. The cool climate contributes lovely freshness to this crisp Sauvignon, which has plenty of varietal typicity. Zingy grapefruit, lime and gooseberry aromas. Racy acidity with mouthwatering gooseberry and citrus fruit, plus a creaminess to the texture from time on lees. Lingering, crisp citrus finish.
