Tasting note
This wine is a ruby red colour of medium intensity. The nose has an attractive, perfumed character with red fruit, herbal and floral notes. This is a medium-bodied, intensely fruity wine with fresh acidity and textured tannins that contribute grip and tension to the mouth. Long and deep finish.
In the press
96/100 - A special selection of the extremely old-vines from Guarilihue, at least 120 years of age. Tangy, smoky white pepper and mezcal-like freshness with agile, salted red cherries, red plums and grapefruit rind. This falls in the same category as the likes of Comando G, Envinate and Pedro Parra's cinsauts – nervy, nimble and almost reductive. Long, ethereal and bright. Peppery and so delicious! 91% pais and 9% san francisco (believed to be negramoll). 11% whole clusters. 3,200 bottles made. Dangerously drinkable. Hard to say no.
94/100 - From vines more than a century-old, present at the foundation of the De Martino estate, and a field blend of 80% País and 20% San Francisco, this is characterful, alluringly broody yet deliciously drinkable. Allow it time in the glass to unveil the wet earth, tobacco and mocha earthiness underneath the crunchy cranberry, red cherry and pomegranate fruit. Lovely fluidity and energy throughout. Long, savoury finish with lingering cherry pit and tobacco. Drinking Window: 2026 - 2030
Food Match
Red meats, such as wild boar and venison, game, pizzas, pastas and delicious with cheeses - serve slightly chilled.
