Fume Blanc

The Sauvignon Blanc grape originated in France’s Bordeaux and Loire Valley regions. The vines are heat tolerant and grow quickly, requiring consistent pruning for best results.

V1 Selects are made with grapes from prestigious vineyards; older and mature, these vineyards typically have a small yield, resulting in more intense and complex wines. This Fume Blanc is from the Santa Filomena vineyard located in the Valley of Casablanca. It is known for its clay soils rich in minerals from the Andean snowmelt, with a cool climate ideal for cultivating white varietals.
