Vina Edmara – Pinot Noir – 2022

PRODUCER NOTE:
Chile produces remarkably good wines at amazingly good prices from its privileged position between the Andes and the Pacific, where winemakers are blessed with some of the most desirable conditions on earth: exceptional soils, ideal temperatures, intense sunlight. There is very little use of pesticide and the philosophy of the winemakers we work with is: minimal interference. We work closely with a handful of the finest winemakers in Chile. We source Viña Edmara from two main areas: the rich Central Valley area and the cooler Coastal Area. All exhibit the maximum-freshness fruit for which Chile is famous. Viña Edmara wines reflect Chile and the typicity of each of the varietals and of their terroir.

VINEYARD:
The grapes are grown in a mixture of silty soils with more clay towards the coastal range from the Casablanca region.

WINEMAKING:
The berries were destemmed and partially crushed. The must was cooled immediately after crushing to maintain aromas, flavours and to reduce the level of sulphur dioxide. A cool pre-fermentation maceration lasted for five days, extracting primary flavours and colour. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with a gentle extraction to achieve a soft and fruity character in the final wine. After short post-fermentation maceration, the wine had brief oak contact to increase complexity.

TASTING NOTE:
This is a stylish and light bodied Pinot Noir, with notes of black cherry, strawberry, rose petals and violets, layered with hints of vanilla and coconut. Smooth and velvety, through to an elegant finish.
