This wine is 100% Sauvignon Gris from Leyda Valley. Fresh and fruit-forward, the unusual Sauvignon Gris grape variety is sophisticated, expressive and concentrated, showing the minerality of Leyda's terroir. The wine is rich and mouth-fulfilling with fresh acidity and a long, persistent finish.

Press recommendation
''...Sauvignon Gris is a grape variety related to Sauvignon Blanc, but offering richer, bolder flavours, is taut and quite intense, with a chalky minerality and some grassy grapefruit and citrus notes...'' Jamie Goode, Sunday Express, July 2010

Press recommendation
''...More textured than its 'blanc' relation, this Sauvignon Gris would suit a chicken salad with garlic mayo or chicken curry perfectly..." Matthew Jukes, Daily Mail, May 2010

Press recommendation
''... Sauvignon Gris is an all but forgotten variety except in Chile, where it thrives, and the 2009 Secano Estate Sauvignon Gris, is a fine example. With a touch of gooseberry and passion fruit it is both creamy and crisp, and is spot on with smoked salmon sandwiches.,...'' Jonathan Ray, The Daily Telegraph, July 2010

Press recommendation
''... You've heard of Sauvignon Blanc, of course, but have you got your chops round a glass of Sauvignon Gris yet? This one from Chile is richly zingy with plenty of ripe tropical refreshment - full-on fruit with intense ping and some serious verve. Match it with a seafood barbecue and you're in heaven,....'' Olly Smith, The Mail on Sunday, July 2010
