| TASTING NOTE: The influence of cool ocean breezes and fog, courtesy of the Humboldt Current that follows Chile's coastline up from the Antarctic, make Casablanca an ideal cool-climate growing region. This ocean influence gives the region a long growing season that encourages great balance and complexity in the grapes by providing them a slow ripening period over which to develop intense fruit flavours while maintaining freshness. This example offers great varietal typicity with notes of grass, green peas and citrus with an underlying herbaceous complexity all in in a vibrant, crisp and refreshing package.
