- WINEMAKER: Leonardo Erazo
- FARMING: Practicing organic viticulture
- VARIETY: 100% País
- VINEYARD: Sourced from own-rooted, dry-farmed vines planted approximately 100 years ago in the Guarilihue area of the Itata Valley. The vines thrive in black volcanic ash soils, locally known as "trumao," contributing to the wine's distinctive mineral character.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested and undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in stainless steel for 5-6 months to preserve its fresh and vibrant profile. It is bottled without filtration or fining, adhering to natural winemaking principles.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2021 'Volcánico' País offers delicate aromas of wild herbs, red fruits, and hints of cassis. On the palate, it is fresh and delicate, marked by fine-grained tannins and a distinctive mineral character imparted by the volcanic soils.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: This versatile wine pairs well with charcuterie, grilled meats, and dishes featuring earthy mushrooms or roasted vegetables.
- SCORES: Descorchados: 92 points – "This país comes from a vineyard planted about 100 years ago on black sand soils of volcanic origin... rich in red fruits with earthy tones... focused on that juiciness of crunchy red fruits that makes it very drinkable.
