De Martino Viejas Tinajas Cinsault

Country: Chile Region: Central Valley

Varietal: Cinsault Vintage: 2015 Colour: Red Style: Dry

Producer: De Martino

Description:
The organically farmed grapes are sourced from an ungrafted, head-pruned vineyard, and they fermented destemmed in terracotta amphorae for 15 days—then kept there for the winter and spring, and bottled unfiltered after malolactic with just a little sulphur. The nose is somehow organic, mixing aromas of dried roses, decayed wild strawberries, raspberries and a hint of leaves; it is a little musky, cleaner than previous vintage with some earthy aromas that are focused and precise. The palate is light to medium-bodied with moderate acidity, but the wine is still fresh. Ideal with white meat, charcuterie and lighter food. —Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate, 2016
