Region:Casablanca Valley
Niebla, fog in Spanish, here counts for three things. It captures the image of the Casablanca Valley during summers early mornings, where daily fogs shroud the vineyards, keeping the grapes cool and ensuring freshness in the finished wines. It is also the name of the vineyard, a small block of vines just 11 miles from the sea, enjoying a cool maritime climate. Lastly we thought it was a great name for our exclusive Sauvignon Blanc created with the expertise of the team at the De Martino winery. A bold Sauvignon Blanc that has wonderfully pure fruit, a mix of citrus zest and mango coupled with lovely herbal notes and just a touch of asparagus. Brilliant with fishy dishes or your favourite goats cheese recipes.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Nicolás Peréz
Nicolás Peréz works alongside the fourth generation of the De Martino family. Although he grew up in Santiago, Chile, during his teenage years he travelled constantly to Chilean Patagonia, where he worked on the culinary project of one of his brothers. This is where he first came into contact with the world of wine, getting to know the different producers that were operating at that time. This experience was key to his decision, at the young age of 14, to become a winemaker. From that moment on, this goal was central to all the decisions he took about his life and studies. Despite his youth, he has gained substantial experience working in different international wineries in California and Australia, before returning to his home of Chile.
At De Martino, the winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention on single vineyards, including sustainable farming and traditional winemaking methods. Wines are crafted with native yeast, balanced in alcohol and moderate oak (when needed) to preserve the essence of the vineyards. De Martino is proud to be the first producer to bottle single-varietal Carménère in Chile, the first South American Carbon Neutral winery, Chilean Wine Producer of the Year in 2005 & 2009 by IWSC and Chilean Winery of the Year.
