Tasting note
Intense aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit that lead to a fresh palate with medium body.
Viticulture
De Martino, pioneers of Chilean wine, led by revered winemaker Marcel Retamal, reshaped the scene in 2011. They embraced indigenous yeasts, earlier harvest, and minimal oak. Voted 'winery of the year,' they craft diverse wines from unique terroirs and varietals, including the homage Viejas Tinajas from old vines in Itata, reflecting ancestral methods.
Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and pressed gently to avoid extracting bitter phenols. The juice was left to settle and then put into stainless steel vats where the alcoholic fermentation took place with natural yeasts at temperatures ranging between 14-16°C. Malolactic fermentation was blocked and the wine aged over its fine lees for 6 months.
Food Match
Fresh garden salads, various types of seafood and light cheeses, or simply as a summer aperitif on the terrace.
