The pure País 2020 Vinista was produced with grapes from three ancient vineyards, two with volcanic soils in Ñipas and a third one on red granite from Guarilihue. The grapes fermented with their natural yeasts with 100% full clusters, and the wine matured in oak and concrete vats for 10 months. Despite the warm year and a reduction of 50% in the yields, the wine is fluid and elegant and has 13% alcohol. This is more volcanic, from a basalt soil like the one from Etna, and the wine shows it; and in terms of ripeness, he harvested early; and in the zone, the País never reaches 14% alcohol, so this 13% is the highest you're going to see. This is fruit-driven and elegant, and in a way, it reminded me of the Santa Cruz de Coya from Roberto Enríquez, with a faint touch of ash. This is superb. 13,512 bottles were filled in February 2020. The 2019 that I didn't taste was a great success, so he had to release the 2020 earlier. ... More details

Country: Chile

When the wealthy new landowners of the 19th century began planting large vineyards in the fertile central valleys of Chile, they must have been impressed at how successful the imported Old World grape varietals took to the land. However, such a fact is hardly surprising; with eight months of blazing sunshine coupled with oceanic winds from the west, and crystal clear spring waters from the Andes irrigating the soil, grapes such as Malbec, Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon were given everything they needed to flourish, and more. As the centuries passed, Chilean wineries continued to expand and experiment, resulting in a wide range of wine production methods and techniques, and consistently producing fine quality wines perfect for the international market. Nowadays, Chile is renowned for producing a wide variety of crisp white wines, and juicy, fruity reds enjoyed around the world for their drinkability and flavorful character, making this country very much one of the 'New World', albeit one with a fascinating link to the Old.
