(6) - 2016 Fachada Sauvignon Blanc, Valle Central, Chile, 750ml

2016 Fachada Sauvignon Blanc, Valle Central, Chile
Pale yellow with a hint of green indicate the coolness of the vintage.  Lime, grapefruit, and a hint of herbaceous notes make up a clean, zesty palate with a long finish.

Food Pairing: Classic seafood and oyster pairings will work with this Sauvignon Blanc as well as salads.

Vineyards: In the middle of Chile lie the hills and valleys that make up the Valle Central growing region.  This region spans south from Santiago with a climate that is largely Mediterranean - vineyards located at higher elevations are slightly cooler, while the lower elevation vineyards located closer to the Pacific Ocean feature a milder climate.  Vines for Fachada Sauvignon Blanc are 14-years-old and grown at around 1,000 feet above sea level, perfect for Sauvignon Blanc grapes.  Soils here are alluvial, meaning that they are made of small sediments that promote good drainage and yield nuanced, aromatic grapes.  In the 2016 vintage, El Nino brought significant rains and cooler temperatures to the region, creating weather conditions more similar to Bordeaux than a typical Chilean growing season.  The cooler temperatures slowed ripening, with harvest for these Sauvignon Blanc parcels beginning on March 15th.  Fortunately, this meant that grapes were in the winery before the heavy April rains that affected some of the vineyards badly in the Valle Central.  Fermentation occurred at slightly chilled temperatures to bring out the aromatic qualities of the grapes.  No oak was used for this wine, allowing for it to remain crisp and fruit-forward.

AW Direct

Owner:
Bruce Cunningham
Founded:
1987
Location:
Santa Rosa, California

Founder and CEO, Bruce Cunningham, has been in the wine industry since 1987. After earning an undergraduate degree in Wine Marketing Studies at the University of Adelaide (South Australia), Bruce attended business school and has been involved in many aspects of the industry with a specific focus in packaging and production. After relocating to New York from Australia, he saw the need for custom labels of Australian wines for direct marketing needs in the USA. A W Direct (formerly Aussie Wine Direct), was born. This focus on a market segment was, at the time embryonic, and quickly led to further expansion of both suppliers and various segments of the wine market.
 A W Direct relocated to California in 2004, and the team expanded, led by the formidable talents of his business partner, Kimberly Cunningham. Kim - an engineer, and techno-geek at heart - with her experience in running divisions of some of the world’s largest companies, was able to build systems to help create the efficiency needed to allow A W Direct to grow, but also compete in a wine world that can be inflexible and intolerant. As the company grew, Kim enhanced the business by developing a successful team of energetic, challenge-driven people who have the right “moxie” to keep our well-oiled machine running smoothly.
