La Despensa Boutique Estate Pais

Blend: 100% Pais

Location: Colchagua Valley

Alcohol: 13.5% ABV

Tasting Note: Fresh and super easy-drinking. Very clean with typical Pais notes of strawberry and perhaps a hint of sour cherry with added depth and concentration from the old vine fruit.

Vinification: Dry-farmed on less than 12 inches of winter rain per year, this is a different take on Pais compared with wines from this variety further south in Chile. Hand-picked grapes. Open-top bin fermentation with native yeasts. 14 days from picking to pressing, no extended maceration. Aged 100% in Flextank.

Vegetarian: Yes

Vegan: Yes

Food Match: Very versatile, accompanies pretty much all styles and types of food, though works very well with spiced dishes, cured meats, mezze platters and barbecued meats.
