Matetic EQ Coastal Sauvignon Blanc 2023

EQ Coastal comes from vineyards in Valle Hermoso, in the Casablanca Valley’s most coastal zone, about nine kilometers from the Pacific. One-third of the wine was fermented and aged in barrels, another third in concrete eggs, and the final third in stainless steel tanks. What stands out first is the palate, which is concentrated, firm, juicy, and full of vibrant acidity. There’s also a saline side that lends complexity to an already intense white that’s full of the cold maritime influence. Score – 95. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2024)
