Tasting note
This wine is aromatic and intense with great volume in the mouth and achieves a balance between the fresh acidity and the texture contributed by 6 months’ maceration with the skins. Vinification in amphorae contributes rich texture to the palate and results in a wine with tension, volume and smoothness. Ageing potential of around 10 years.
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
Grapes destemmed, fermented in 'viejas tinajas' (terracotta amphorae) with native yeasts. 6 months skin contact, MLF. Aged 6 months in another 'tinaja'. No fining, filtering, or added sulphites.
Food Match
Mature cheeses, charcuterie, or simply amazing on its own.
