Drinking Window: 2022 - 2027
This exciting Pinot Noir is a socially responsible collaboration between Viña San Pedro and a Mapuche community from Araucania who tend to vineyards in Malleco. Viviana Navarrete looks to preserve the essence of the terroir through brief macerations, 20% in whole bunches, and by only ageing 20% of the wine. The nose brims over with red fruit, cherry, lavender and notes of menthol. It’s fresh and linear in the mouth, where the granulated tannins bring out the expressive flavours.
