This hand harvested, single vineyard, 100% estate Riesling, was planted in 1995 in Colbun, Maule, Chile. Volcanic soils, 100% organic, very very low yielding, 15% stem inclusion, aged in clay amphora and concrete tanks for 8 months. 20% of the grapes had 15 days of skin contact.
Clean, deep yellow-green color. It has an intense fruity and oily character with hints of quince and medlar on the one hand, and on the other, rich aromas of white flowers such as acacia and trees native to Colbún such as Quillay Saponina. On the palate it is a structured wine with good depth and rich acidity. Ideal with fish such as trout and all types of charcuterie.
