Pipeño' Coronel de Maule Tinto

Natural Red Wine
1000ml 

The País for this project comes from 200+-year-old vines planted in Maule. The iron-rich clays are punctuated by quartz and granite. The grapes are hand destemmed using the traditional zaranda method. The wine ferments in open-top lagares for two weeks before being pressed into traditional pipas for a brief élevage. The wine is then settled in tank before bottling - sometimes with minor filtration and a pinch of SO2.

A structured wine that lands in the mouth like velvet. The acidity of dark fruit aroma's such as blackcurrant grip the tongue. After which floral notes, herbaceous and earthy tones take over the pallet. Ripe tannins provide a mouth-filling structure and due to its vinification the wine remains vibrant at the same time.
