General Information
The sauvignon blanc variety has found one of the best habitats in the D.O. Rueda to express itself within our vineyards. Here, Sanz Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is produced, a single-varietal wine that comes from a selection of the best sauvignon blanc vines owned by the Vinos Sanz winery, with an average age of 35 years. It offers an excellent quality-price ratio and follows in the footsteps of its older brother: Finca La Colina Sauvignon Blanc (winner of the most prestigious international awards).
Vinos Sanz bases its philosophy on preserving the maximum expression of the vineyard and meticulously caring for the grape production. In addition to verdejo, the queen of the D.O. Rueda, the winery also cultivates sauvignon blanc - the second most important variety in the area - in its more than 100 hectares of vineyard, mostly located in Finca La Colina. Vinos Sanz owns some of the oldest sauvignon blanc vineyards in Rueda and prides itself on having extensive experience in producing this grape.
Sanz Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (D.O. Rueda) expresses the wide range of aromas and flavors characteristic of this grape, which so often remind us of tropical fruits. It is ideal with any appetizer such as charcuterie or smoked boards. It also pairs well with baked fish like salt-crusted sea bass or with Japanese cuisine like salmon sashimi.
Creators' opinion
Pale yellow color with a steely edge, clean and bright. On the nose, very intense. It presents vegetal aromas such as fig leaf and boxwood accompanied by citrus and with a tropical finish of passion fruit. On the palate, it is friendly, balanced, fresh, and sweet, with a lot of body and intense tropical memories.
The winery
In addition to being the oldest winery in Rueda, Vinos Sanz is an essential name to understand the enormous development that this Castilian-Leonese denomination has experienced in recent decades. Founded in 1870 in La Seca (Valladolid), it was the first winery to unconditionally bet on verdejo, today considered one of the best white grape varieties in the world. Currently, the winery is managed by the sixth generation of the family and is in the midst of a commercial expansion process to conquer new markets.
Vinos Sanz bases its philosophy on preserving the maximum expression of the vineyard and meticulously caring for the winemaking process. In addition to verdejo, the undisputed queen of Rueda, the winery also cultivates sauvignon blanc – the second most important variety in the area – across its more than 100 hectares of vineyards, mostly located in Finca La Colina. This plot, with unbeatable conditions for grape growing, produces the raw material for two of the best white wines made in this country: Finca La Colina 100 x 100 Verdejo and Finca La Colina Sauvignon Blanc.
