1865 Sauvignon Blanc is a standout choice for discerning white wine drinkers in Amman who prefer the “New World” coastal style. Unlike warmer-climate versions, the Leyda Valley terroir ensures a slower ripening process, which preserves the zesty citrus and herbal “pyrazines” that Sauvignon Blanc lovers crave. For our customers on sip22.com, this wine represents a professional-tier selection, often receiving scores of 91-94 points from international critics like Descorchados and James Suckling. Its unique fermentation process—using concrete eggs and foudres—gives it a creamy weight on the palate that balances the sharp acidity, making it feel more luxurious than standard varietals. Whether you are enjoying a seafood lunch in Amman or looking for a crisp, mineral-driven white, 1865 delivers an authentic and sophisticated taste of the Chilean coast.
