This blend of Pais and Cinsault from Pedro Parra is a delightful and refreshing wine. It's light red and has a distinctive spice on the nose and palate. The tannins are fine and the acidity is vibrant.
Pedro is a renowned soil and vineyard mapping expert always seeking the best soils for a variety. He has had much success with Cinsault. The other grape here, Pais (Mission in North America), is important in Chilean wine history, being the first Old World grape brought to the country.
Don’t be afraid to chill this a little, especially in summertime. There was a little sediment in my bottle, so you may wish to decant.
Highly Recommended.
