FROM IMPORTER: Carolina Alvarado and Arturo Herrera are Herrera Alvarado: a bodega with a mission to preserve the traditional viticultural practices of the Marga Marga valley. La Zaranda is made from their own-rooted sauvignon blanc grown on clay. Grapes are hand-harvested in mid-March, destemmed by hand with a Zaranda (the local name for a destemmer), and given 2 days of skin maceration before wild yeast fermentation in concrete tanks without temperature control. They raise the wine in tank for 17 months on fine lees, and bottled without added S02.
