Pino Roman Pais 2022, Chile

País is 100% País from Eliana Sanhueza’s 3 hectare vineyard of 60+ year old own-rooted vines in Trehuaco in Itata’s coastal range. The vines are planted at 161m above sea level on granitic soils. The grapes were harvested by hand and destemmed, then placed in an open vat for maceration and fermentation without temperature control. After fermentation, the wine rested for 10 months in stainless steel vat before bottling without fining, filtering and with only a small amount of added SO2.
