The wine region of Itata Valley
Chilean southern valley in full revival, bicentennial pre-phylloxera bush-trained vines, ungrafted. Signature Cinsault from old granitic vines (Coelemu, Guarilihue): fine fresh reds with signature notes of crushed strawberry, raspberry, flowers, fresh herbs and a mineral touch, delicate tannins and lively acidity — drinkable and authentic style. País (Listán Prieto) light and fruity, dense Carignan, ample floral Muscat in white. Organic and natural, Pacific coastal climate.
The wine region of South
Southern Australia regional zone (18 GIs including Barossa, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, Clare, Adelaide Hills). Shiraz leads in powerful, solar reds of blackberry, plum, pepper, dark chocolate and a balsamic-spicy touch, fleshy tannins and long ageing. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon and supple Grenache as GSM blend partners. Dry, mineral Clare Riesling as the white pinnacle.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
