Product Description

92 points in James Suckling - "An unfiltered, very floral país that shows lots of hyacinth, fresh rose petals, blueberry muffin and nutmeg. Not only does this have great balance and tension between the fruit and acidity, but the fruit sits evenly across a firm bed of tannins that keep this chewy, quite structured but elegant. Drink now. "

91 points in Wine Advocate - "The just-bottled 2018 País Salvaje was fermented with full clusters but without carbonic maceration, a change compared with the 2017, where part of the wine underwent carbonic maceration. It fermented in concrete and was bottled in August 2018, some four months after the harvest. 2018 seems like a great vintage in Maule (and in a great part of Chile), depending on yields and irrigation, of course. This is juicy, fresh and with more depth and complexity. It has more weight, more precision and very good freshness. This is really impressive."

Product details
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.
