Pais Salvaje 2021
Maule
Never been touched by the human hand, these Pais vines grow wildly in the trees next to the vineyards. 100% organic, 100% dry-farmed, 100% wild.
VINEYARD
AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 121 YEARS.
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 630 FEET
VINIFICATION
Pais Salvaje is 100% naturally-vinified using century-old winemaking techniques, including the use of the zaranda (a structure made of sticks to destem the grape clusters). The wine goes through 30% Carbonic Maceration, is fermented with natural yeast and remains unfiltered. There is no oak used in the wine to preserve the wine’s authentic expression of terroir– the wild terroir – with honest flavors and aromas of the grape that are singular to this special place in Mingre.
TASTING NOTES
Vibrant notes of red fruits, cherry, and wild strawberry with floral notes. Fresh on the palate with good balance and a long, rustic finish.
FOOD PAIRING
Try it with barbeque and all types of sausage.
