J Bouchon, País Salvaje, Maule Valley, Chile, 2019

Salvaje' means 'wild' and relates to the way that these vines are grown freely within the natural flora. Vines grow up on the trees and must be picked by climbing wooden ladders 5m high. The wine displays a pale lemon colour and a hint of pink. It is youthful, delicate and attractive with notes of green apples, citrus fruits, pear and fresh dough. This is a low alcohol (12%), lean, austere wine with a hint of bitterness. It is crunchy, refreshing and has real personality.
