There is a new País from a vineyard planted in 1895 that he rents in Ñipas on black basalt soil, first produced in 2020 but I tasted the 2021 Soulpit. It fermented in concrete with 60% stems for 18 days and with a 30-day maceration. It matured in oak vat for 11 months. País does not deliver high alcohol, and this is only 12.5%. It has a mixture of flowers, cherries in liqueur, aromatic herbs and brick dust, a mixture of the Comando G and Rayas styles and characters. It has more generous tannins, not as tight as the ones from granite. Apparently, there's an even better País that I should taste one of these days soon... 2,562 bottles were filled in February 2022. ... More details

Bright , ethereal and characterful, full of wild raspberries, anise, white pepper funk, tiger balm and licorice. Tight and slightly chewy tannins give it a somewhat austere feel, if not a little rustic, too. That said, there is a lot to like on the palate, showing the attractive agility and super tanginess and assertiveness of a good pais. Very old vines from silty basaltic soils. Enjoy now.

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.
