{"product_id":"comahue-estate-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Comahue Estate Sauvignon Blanc","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eComahue, “place of abundance” in the local indigenous tongue, is the work of the Viola family, part of\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ethe Malma estate in San Patricio del Chañar. When they arrived they were pioneers on a stretch of Patagonian steppe that had essentially never been farmed. The wider San Patricio del Chañar district was an engineered project, irrigated and planted from the late 1990s onward, converting arid desert into one of the world’s southernmost fine wine zones. Comahue farms sustainably and organically, and its whole identity rests on that dialogue between an extreme site and the vine. The vineyards sit on a high desert bench around 300 meters up, on alluvial soils, sand and stone dropped by ancient rivers, laced with volcanic ash carried east from Andean eruptions, over a calcareous substrate. Every part of that profile pushes toward freshness. Sand and stone drain instantly and hold almost no nutrients, so the vine can’t run to vigor; berries stay small, skins thick, and flavors concentrated. The ash and calcareous material keep the ground lean and mineral. Then the climate finishes the job: cold nights, a huge day\/night temperature swings, relentless wind, and bright desert sun. Warm days ripen the fruit while cold nights lock in acidity, and the wind thickens skins and keeps disease pressure low. The result is a Sauvignon of piercing, mouth-watering acidity and clarity: grapefruit, lime, white peach, green herbs, closing on a taut, saline, almost stony snap. Its freshness and cut come straight from poor, ash-influenced soil and a punishing high-desert climate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comahue","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50450297094358,"sku":null,"price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4341\/2950\/files\/Comahue-Sauvignon-Blanc-BTL.png?v=1789771505","url":"https:\/\/winklerandsamuels.com\/products\/comahue-estate-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"winklerandsamuels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
