Tasting note

Appearance: medium intensity Burgundy color.

Nose: distinct with notes of local herbs like peppermint and paico, lavender, tart cherries, and earthy grilled mushrooms.

Palate: juicy with earthy and leafy notes, vibrant acidity from granitic soil, firm texture, and a long finish.

Vinification

The 2021 vintage involved 4 Mapuche families and had typical Malleco weather but with less rainfall (616mm). The season was warmer than previous years, contrasting with Chile's cooler Central Valley. Harvest began on 12 March and ended on 24 March. Grapes were hand-harvested into 15kg bins and transported at 5°C.

Food Match

Mushroom risotto, pumpkin ravioli with hints of lavender, lean duck breast + smoked mashed potatoes.
