Vina Maitia Aupa Pipeno 2024

$1899

Maule, Chile. 80% Pais & 20% Carignan- plantings that date back to 1895. The País grapes are removed from the clusters manually by being hit over a zaranda, a metal grid that acts as destemmer and press, to a traditional concrete vat
The Carignan is fermented with whole clusters, and then the blend is aged briefly in concrete.Pipeño is the traditional method of winemaking in Chile, which dates back to the late 16th century. The wine is light in color with bright notes of crushed raspberry, wild strawberry, and rose petals that lead into underlying hints of dried herbs, mint leaves, fennel and thyme. This fruit driven, easy drinking wine with a bit of animale has fresh acid with low tannin and can be enjoyed with a slight chill.
