Pinot Noir 2021

WINE OVERVIEW

This wine may prove the Malleco Valley to be the holy grail for Chilean Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes

The cold climate during maturation gives this wine intense fruit aromas like cherries and red fruits. Thanks to aging in French oak barrels for ten months, the wine elegantly combines complexity, balance and fresh aromas.

Food Pairing

Pairs well with a wide range of foods from game birds to grilled seafood.

Tech Details

These grapes were harvested late in the season due to the cold climate. Yields were less than 3 tons per acre. The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed, then cold soaked to extract as much as possible from the small clusters. The cap was punched down three times each day, then pressed into French oak barrels where it was aged for 12 months.
