Winemaker's notes:
Selección del Directorio

This wine embodies Santa Helena’s philosophy. A top quality wine, with persistent personality and characteristics along the time.
The grapes come from Leyda Valley, where the vineyards are planted only 12 km away from the Pacific Ocean. The soil conditions, the cool climate and foliage management ensure a balanced plant growth with low yields.

This wine offers a fantastic expression, with citric fruits, peach aromas, and a great freshness. Good volume, great balance and pleasant persistence make it a perfect companion for white meats, fish and seafood.

From the Reading Room
Wine is served in stemware because the temperature at which wine is served can have a profound impact on the tastes and the enjoyment it yields. Wine glasses should always be held by the stem of the glass rather than the bowl since the heat of your hand will quickly warm the liquid.
