Kalfu Sumpai Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Kalfu Sumpai Sauvignon Blanc - Vinumlector

Kalfu means “Blue” in Mapudungun, the language of the aboriginal Mapuche people of the region. It represents the color that provides a myriad of sensations: blue, like the Pacific Ocean’s intense blue; and blue, like the free sky, acting as an accomplice of and witness to the mysterious origins of life.

Named after the mythological Mapuche Sumpai—mermaid-like entities tasked with guarding the oceans and rivers—this single-vineyard bottling is famous for its extreme coastal influence and striking oceanic character.
