I only tasted one rosé, the 2016 Gallardia del Itata Cinsault Rosé, a pale example designed as a summer wine to enjoy with food. This is bone dry and has enough body and freshness to stand up to food, something not so easy to achieve with Cinsault that has a tendency to drop in acidity if harvested too late. They use a vineyard close to the sea in search of that freshness; the vineyard is organically farmed and grows on granite soils. The maceration is very short, fermented with natural yeasts and without using any sulfur. It had some floral and balsamic aromas, subtle and elegant. The palate is electric with a strong granitic sensation, somehow dry and austere but very tasty. I wish more rosés where like this. 7,626 bottles were filled in November 2016. ... More details

Country: Chile

Chile has a long and rich wine history which dates back to the Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century, who were the first to discover that the wonderful climate and fertile soils of this South American country were ideal for vine cultivation. It has only been in the past forty or fifty years, however, that Chile as a modern wine producing nation has really had an impact on the rest of the world. Generally relatively cheap in price,Whilst being widely regarded as definitively 'New World' as a wine producing country, Chile has actually been cultivating grapevines for wine production for over five hundred years. The Iberian conquistadors first introduced vines to Chile with which to make sacramental wines, and although these were considerably different in everything from flavor, aroma and character to the wines we associate with Chile today, the country has a long and interesting heritage when it comes to this drink. Chilean wine production as we know it first arose in the country in the mid to late 19th century, when wealthy landowners and industrialists first began planting vineyards as a way of adopting some European class and style. They quickly discovered that the hot climate, sloping mountainsides and oceanic winds provided a perfect terroir for quality wines, and many of these original estates remain today in all their grandeur and beauty, still producing the wines which made the country famous.
