Pais Viejo 2021
Maule
Pais Viejo (‘Old Pais’) is a wine with history. Made with Pais grapes from over 100-year-old Gobelet vines planted in the dry-farmed, coastal region of Maule.
VINEYARD
AVERAGE AGE OF VINES: 100 YEARS
AVERAGE ELEVATION: 650 FEET
VINIFICATION
These head-trained Pais vines are planted on very old soil of granitic, sandy loam formed by Chile’s coastal mountains. Pais Viejo 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 grapes are hand harvested and fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks to preserve the wine’s authentic expression of terroir.
TASTING NOTES
Bright cherry color. A very juicy, fresh, light and honest wine with aromas of strawberry, wildflowers and sour cherry.
FOOD PAIRING
Pairs well with fish and pasta, however can also be used as an aperitif.
