Country/Region: Chile, Casablanca Valley
Elegant, complex and smooth, this medium bodied wine has strawberry and redcurrant fruit flavours and a soft, lingering finish. The grapes were grown in the Casablanca Valley, a region renowned for making excellent cool climate wines. The Pacific Ocean brings morning fogs and cool afternoon breezes that moderate the valley temperatures and humidity, allowing the grapes to slowly ripen and
develop complex flavours. The wine was then aged for 6 months in
French and American oak barrels.
A fruit-forward flavour is backed up by vanilla and spice, making this Pinot Noir a 'bigger' and deeper and broader wine than one expects from this grape. Left open for a couple of hours, and it just gets better and better.
This wine is a good match with grilled tuna and roast lamb, stews & casseroles.
