WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of this Sauvignon Blanc Gran Reserva involves winemaking practices that adhere to Chilean regulations for the 'Gran Reserva' classification, mandating oak aging. The grapes are likely sourced from the Leyda Valley, benefiting from its cool climate. Fermentation is typically carried out at controlled temperatures to maintain the varietal's aromatic profile. Post-fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in oak barrels, a key step that contributes to its structure and complexity, before being bottled under Lidl's 'Deluxe' private label.
