Longaví is a collaboration between Chilean winemaker Julio Bouchon and South African winemaker David Nieuwoudt, focused on expressing old-vine, dry-farmed sites in southern Chile. The 'GLUP!' series highlights fresh, low-intervention wines from organically farmed vineyards, with a focus on drinkability and transparent expression of terroir. This bottling comes from heritage bush vines of Cinsault planted in the granitic soils of the coastal Itata Valley.
-
WINEMAKER: Julio Bouchon and David Nieuwoudt
-
FARMING: Organic (uncertified), dry-farmed
-
VARIETY: 100% Cinsault
-
TERROIR: Old-vine bush-trained Cinsault planted on decomposed granite soils in Guarilihue, a subzone of the Itata Valley located near the Pacific Ocean. Cool coastal influence moderates temperatures and preserves natural acidity.
-
VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested, partially whole-cluster fermented with native yeasts in open-top tanks; minimal extraction and gentle handling to preserve aromatic lift.
-
AGING: Aged in neutral concrete and stainless steel tanks for 6–8 months before bottling without fining or filtration.
-
TASTING NOTES: Juicy and aromatic with notes of wild strawberries, red cherry, crushed herbs, and white pepper. Light-bodied and vibrant on the palate with soft tannins, fresh acidity, and a lightly savory finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Charcuterie boards, grilled octopus, roast chicken, or lentil salads
