El Costillar Sauvignon Blanc | Valle Central, Chile
El Costillar is a traditional folk-dance thought to have originated in central Chile. Though its exact roots are unclear, it is assumed to relate to an ancient custom of dancing around a bottle of wine.
Dancing couples circle around each other moving closer and closer together – if one of them knocks over the bottle they must pay a fine, which is then used to buy more wine for the other dancers.
El Costillar are designed to offer tasty, straight forward and accessible single varietal wines: perfect for drinking and dancing!
