Casa Marin Sauvignon Blanc Cipreses Vineyard 2024

Susie & Peter, Masters of Wine

Last year’s Best Winemaker becomes this year’s Best Producer. Casa Marin really is something special – a producer totally dedicated to showcasing its coastal terroir with wines of refinement and seemingly effortless class. Take this Sauvignon. It’s outstanding. How so? It’s the almost magical way this wine weaves vibrancy, fruit, freshness, leafiness,
complexity and minerality together in a way that is utterly seamless and ridiculously sophisticated. The pink grapefruit and green pepper speak of San Antonio; the invigorating acidity and saline finish speak of Lo Abarca. It’s like a melodious and familiar voice speaking with crispness and clarity through the chilly morning fog. So what’s the secret to making such a wonderful wine? Winemaker Felipe Marin points to the maturing mix of clones on the steep hillside plantings, and also his technique of different harvest timings. ‘Knowing the vineyard is key,’ he muses, ‘and that only comes with time and experience.’ There’s a small amount (30%) of old oak in the blend, though you’d never know it. Bravura Sauvignon.

Igen er det syrepræcis Sauvignon Blanc ... blot med et sløret og lidt comfortagtig og rockwooldæmpende blidt lag henover. Det er skam fortsat grønne asparges, grønne pebre, hyld, solbærblade, græs, hø, grapefrugt, stikkelsbær, ærter, kiwifrugt og en smule flintesten, men det virker nu mere sart og forsigtigt ... afdæmpet, kontrolleret ... og absolut fortsat med druens friske karakteristika. Det er måske mest i smagen, at enkeltmarken og den delvise fadlagring slår igennem, for vinen har en dybere intensitet og mere afslebne kanter. Vi vipper fortsat med røven ude på kanten af stolen med en fin rank, sur, syrlig, stringent frugt, stikkelsbær, grape, bitter lemon, gin og tonic, hyld, bitterhed, rene og saltet mineral, grønne grene og friske urter. Smukt ... 95 point. Forhandles af Supervin, hvor en flaske koster 249,95 kr., mens prisen på tilbud kun er 199,95 kr. ved køb af 6 flasker. Vinanmeldelse 6/7

BEST SAUVIGNON BLANC OF CHILE - The nose has such a breadth of aromas: herbaceous, green, lime and apple skin. The palate is super concentrated, linear, and with just a hint of pyrazine and something slightly tropical. Such fresh acidity, with lovely weight on the palate that gives a sense of texture and density. Fresh, with that beautiful zippy note and a rich, fleshy finish. Superb. Will age beautifully. GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Sauvignon Blanc | WINEMAKER: Felipe Marin

Valuerating: ★★★★★★ (6 ud af 6) | Det her er et friskt pust af vin med personlighed. Der er æble og stikkelsbær, men hibiscus og sæbevand springer op af glasset, i en fanfare af floralitet! Mens velkendte noter af asparges og nyslået græs skejer ‘holder den lidt til jorden’ så at sige. På tungen er den præcis, syrerig og let på tå, men smager længe og gemmer på detaljer du kan gå på opdagelse. Ikke bare en generisk stabil Sauvignon – det her er én med mening og egenkarakter. Der er en grund til at Casa Marin er toneangivende, når det kommer til Sauvignon Blanc.

Cipreses er noget af det mest ekstreme Sauvignon Blanc når det kommer til aromatiske forbindelser. Det stråler simpelthen ud af glasset med noter af hyldeblomster, solbærbusk og hvide ferskner. Høj syre, spændstig og med en kalket mineralitet, der giver den et ekstra pift. Det her er noget for sig selv.

The product of extremely low yields of under four tons per hectare, the 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Cipreses Vineyard is one of the brightest, most citrus-driven Sauvignon Blancs I tasted in Chile. Opening with a pure, clean and subtly flinty nose, the palate is similarly high-toned and crunchy, drenched in acidity but lacking a bit of tension, to my palate. It concludes with a beamingly bright finish, again dominated by all manner of citrus notes.

The expressive, aromatic and intensely varietal 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Cipreses Vineyard comes from vines at four kilometers from the sea and has a strong sea influence, and the cool climate (in a cool year) gives the wine a salty twist. This fermented and matured with lees for a short while in stainless steel and was bottled early without adding acidity or being clarified. Yet the wine is clean and bright, pungent, with strong herbal notes. It has good ripeness, 13.5% alcohol and balancing acidity (7.88 grams). It reveals a refreshing palate, finishing dry and long. 25,000 bottles produced.

Vinous

Sourced from clay and limestone soils in San Antonio in a cold vintage, the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Cipreses Vineyard is like a sharpened blade. It features aromas of lime, yellow pepper and mint, with a rue and herbal core. On the palate, it offers elevated acidity that tempers the intensely lemony flow. This is a delicious white, perfect for seafood and a testament to the seriousness of coastal Sauvignon Blancs in Chile.
