The single-vineyard Cinsault 2021 Monk comes from a rented vineyard in Guarilihue-Tiajacura on silt and iron soils and was named after jazz musician Thelonius Monk, who Pedro Parra describes as “complex and innovative.” It fermented with 100% full clusters and matured in and oak vat for 11 months. The wine comes from red, tight soils, with lots of iron and small particles of quartz. It always has a deeper voice, and it’s subtle and keeping the style of the Imaginador, quite Comando G (Las Umbrías, mentioned Parra), fine-boned with grainy tannins and good grip. It’s floral and elegant, with some ethereal fragility. 1,712 bottles were filled in February 2022
Cinsault, a versatile red wine grape, holds roots in the South of France and has spread its influence globally. Known for its adaptability to various climates, Cinsault thrives in warm, arid regions, producing wines celebrated for their lightness, freshness, and approachability. Its soft tannins and vibrant acidity make it a preferred blending grape, often found in rosé wines and traditional blends like Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Cinsault's flavors typically evoke red berries, cherry, and floral notes, offering a charming and easy-drinking profile. Beyond France, it has found a home in regions like South Africa, where it contributes to both blends and standalone expressions. With its ability to craft delightful, quaffable wines, Cinsault continues to intrigue winemakers and enthusiasts seeking accessible yet distinctive varietals.
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.

Beautiful reduction here with a hint of white sesame on top of the brambly fruit, full of raspberries and wild strawberries. Some bergamot and grapefruit citrus, too. Tangy and firm on the medium-bodied palate. Juicy and pristine, full of verve. The nervy, peppery, fruity finish is quite inviting. Chalky tannins in the forefront of the palate. An excellent, drinkable wine I’d return to for a second glass, and a third...
Winery Notes
This single vineyard Cinsault comes from soils rich in silt, sand, and red granite. Native yeast fermentation with 30% whole clusters. Aging took place in 1,500-liter oak vats for just under 1 year prior to bottling. The muscular “Monk” Cinsault pays homage to jazz musician Thelonius Monk by displaying a direct, strong, and complex wine in full force.
