It’s time to stand up and take notice of Chilean pinot noir (if you haven’t already). This example comes from the Talinay vineyard, a miniscule plot located 12kms from the Pacific Ocean and nestled adjacent to Fray Jorge National Park. The soil is fractured limestone with calcium carbonate, providing exceptional drainage and imparting chalky minerality in the wine. Hand-harvested fruit is 65% destemmed and 35% whole cluster fermented. One full year in top-notch French oak rounds out the process ahead of bottling. The wine is vivid in colour, complex, fresh and bright. You’ll find stoney notes, red fruits, earthiness, and a creamy texture. If you were lucky enough to get a case of the 2019, then you already know what we're talking about. If not, well then here's your chance to get on board.
