Description
Appearance: Bright ruby-red of medium intensity, with attractive translucent crimson reflections.
Nose: Expressive and beautifully perfumed, with aromas of fresh red cherries, raspberries, cranberries and red plums. Delicate floral notes mingle with wild herbs, white pepper and subtle smoky undertones. Earthy hints of tobacco, damp woodland and graphite add complexity.
Palate: Fresh, vibrant and elegantly structured, displaying lively flavours of red cherry, cranberry, pomegranate and juicy red plum. Bright acidity provides energy and precision, while textured, gently gripping tannins contribute structure. Savoury notes of dried herbs, white pepper, tobacco and subtle earthiness give the wine distinctive character and depth.
Finish: Long, lively and savoury, with lingering red berries, delicate spice, mineral freshness and a slightly earthy, peppery character.
Overall impression: A distinctive and characterful Chilean red combining the freshness and aromatic charm of País with the structure and complexity of San Francisco. Produced from exceptionally old vines, the 2022 vintage offers remarkable vibrancy, elegant fruit concentration and a beautifully savoury finish. An intriguing alternative to more conventional, heavily oaked New World reds.
