An enticing pinot with rich, glossy raspberries, grapes, chalk, forest-floor berries, roses, white pepper and exotic spices. This is really tight and chalky on the palate, with super-fine, mealy tannins and an extremely long, linear finish. Very pretty, elegant and nuanced. Drinkable now, but best after 2024. ...

The grapes for the 2020 Las Pizarras Pinot Noir were harvested early in February and fermented with 15% full clusters to lift up the wine, and the élevage was in 55% new barrels and was extended to 13 months. It has 13% alcohol, very good freshness, a pH of 3.55, which is low (but still higher than in cooler years), and a medium body. Often in the warm years, what I find is that in the shorter cycle the tannins don't achieve the same ripeness and elegance as in the cooler years. But they have adapted their irrigation, avoid notes of very ripe fruit and are more careful with the extraction. Nowadays, a warm and dry vintage is much better managed than 20 years ago. 6,600 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2021.

A Burgundy-style Pinot Noir made by Francisco Baettig with grapes from a vineyard in Aconcagua Costa where the soils are rich in slate and iron, this wine is wild fermented, 10% with whole bunches, and aged in 300-litre barrels. The complex nose features sweet, smoky spices, rose, cherry and blood aromas, while on the palate it’s harmonious and fresh with compact tannins that channel the flow.

The 2020 Pinot Noir Las Pizarras comes from Aconcagua Costa and was 15% fermented in whole bunches before spending 13 months in 55% new French barrels. Cherry red in the glass. The layered nose offers precise notes of strawberry and sour cherry, hints of elderberry, and traces of blood, sweet spice and stalk in front of an oaky backdrop. In the mouth, this is structured around the freshness and fine-grained, reactive tannins that tickle the gums before the long, fruity finish.

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with – Burgundy and Champagne – it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor

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.
