## Wine making process

The Undurraga Sibaris Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Leyda Valley. Key winemaking techniques include cool-climate viticulture, with grapes sourced from the Lomas de Leyda vineyard. Fermentation is typically conducted in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures to preserve aromatics and acidity. The wine is generally intended for early release and is not extensively aged, with aging usually occurring in stainless steel to maintain freshness. Viña Undurraga also maintains a commitment to sustainability.
