Serena Mode Sauvignon Blanc
81/100
The short takeA Chilean Sauvignon Blanc that was wine first. Torres prints 0.0% and 'dealcoholization process' without naming the machine. The grape still shows.

- Palate
- 36 g/L sugar makes it plumper than the nose suggests. Lime and green fruit over a light body.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
The grape still shows, quieter than a full Casablanca bottle: citrus and a grassy edge, then a plumper palate from the residual sugar. The sweetness outlasts the grass, which is where it leaves a dry Sauvignon Blanc behind.
The wine
Citrus and a grassy edge, quieter than a ripe coastal Sauvignon Blanc. The nose is the grape, turned down: lime and herb, not passionfruit, and not a sweet perfume.
The palate is plumper than that nose suggests. Lime and green fruit sit on a light body, and a noticeable sweetness fills the middle. It is off-dry. The sugar does more work than the herb once you swallow, which is the tension in the glass. Acidity is present and does not win. Mouthfeel is light, with that extra softness in the center. It is not syrup, and it is not the dry, pithy Sauvignon the aroma promised.
Short citrus at the end. Serve it cool. Colder, the lime leads and the wine feels fresher. Warmer, the residual sweetness is the last word.
A Sauvignon Blanc that still shows the grape, and a softer, sweeter glass than the nose admits. The herb is the interesting part. The sweetness is the limit. Serve it cool if you want the grassy edge to keep up with the lime. Any warmer and the softness takes the glass. The grass is worth chasing. Lime first, if you keep it cool.
81 is typical of the 18 dealcoholized Sauvignon Blanc bottles we've tasted.

- Method
- Method check 2026-10-24. The producer page does not name it either. One Magazine describes rotating conical discs under vacuum; the winemaker quote in that piece names physical extraction and does not name the equipment. Named technique left undeclared.
- Production
- Direct producer technical sheet documents alcoholic fermentation for sixteen days followed by dealcoholization. This is primary evidence for the type, not evidence for a named machine.
- Country
- The page also says without designation of origin.

- Method verified · MethodCorrected from Fermented 16 days, then dealcoholized in a spinning cone column (rotating conical discs under vacuum, per Miguel Torres Chile launch coverage) to Undeclared. The Familia Torres technical sheet says the wine undergoes a dealcoholization process and does not name the equipment.. Same check. The sheet was reopened and still does not name the equipment.
