A new wine for us blended from: 86.1% País (from Maule), 9.6% Carménère (from Colchagua), and 4.3% Carignan (Colchagua). Yes really, that specific. The vineyards are home to more than 100-year old ungrafted and unirrigated vines having been passed down from one generation to the next. The vines are planted near San Javier, south of Talca in the Maule Valley, at 95 meters above sea level and 85 kilometers from the Pacific coast, in granite-dominated, clay-loam soils and farmed organically.
Everything is hand harvested, and grapes are fermented spontaneously using native yeast in cement tanks. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation at spring temperatures. The wine is unpressed, unfined, unfiltered and only settled by gravity. Annual production: 6,808 bottles.
Soft tannin, acidity medium-high, medium-light in body. Pleasant and easy to drink with a good amount of acidity that makes it fresh and bright. Lingering finish. Serve slightly cool, but not cold.
