Tasting Notes

Vinification Details.

The bunches were destemmed, not crushed, cold macerated for 6 hours before pressing. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks & temperature carefully controlled. After alcoholic fermentation, there was no malolactic fermentation, though the wine was left on light fermentation lees stirred once a week.

Producer Information

Laid back New Zealander Brett Jackson is very much settled in Chile - although he hasn't lost his lifelong affection for the All Blacks - and much of Valdivieso's success in recent years has been down to his efforts. Based in Lontue, the company has a wealth of vineyards and the quality of the terroir is shown by the Single Vineyard wines. The whole range encapsulates everything that Chile excels at: rich, vibrant flavours and smooth, glossy textures - and the wines deserve the multitude of gongs they have picked up in recent years.
