Chilean Wines Boundaries Agapes By Garces Silva Sometimes, you stumble upon hidden gems right in front of you. In my case, this wine was a true lucky find. It’s a special wine, produced in small batches of just 1,100 bottles (70cl). The grape variety is 100% Sauvignon blanc from Leyda and San Antonio. But what really sets this wine apart is how it’s made. They barrel-age it and use the Solera system to add complexity and character. Give this wine a rich, intense gold color with notes of oxidation and oak. It’s smooth and well-structured, the wine remind to a “Jerez” but it’s made right here in Chile, at a unique vineyard that’s always pushing the boundaries of cool-climate wines.
