- This full-bodied, well-flavoured Chardonnay shows crystalline notes of banana, apple, and pear layered with brioche and a hint of ginger. It is naturally made, resulting in a slight cloudiness. Pale and slightly cloudy due to the natural vinification, this Chardonnay offers intense aromas of banana, apple, and pear blended with toasted brioche. The full-bodied, rich, creamy palate is balanced by a refreshing and fruity finish.
'No es Pituko' is Chilean slang for 'it ain't fancy' reflecting that this wine was vinified naturally, without any additions at any stage. The grapes were hand-harvested and taken to the winery in 18kg boxes to preserve the quality. They were destemmed, pressed and cooled at 8°C before being fermented with wild yeasts from the environment. Fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks at 13 to 17°C and lasted 25 days. The wine rested on its lees for three months to impart texture and complexity. The wine was made without adding any sulphur, although low levels may be present as a naturally occurring result of fermentation. It was bottled without fining or filtration.

| Winery | The grapes come from a single vineyard in the Entre Cordilleras area of the Curico Valley, situated at 243 metres above sea level. The climate is Mediterranean, with long, dry summers and intense sunlight. There is a marked diurnal temperature range, where the cooler evenings encourage balancing natural acidity and aromatic complexity in the fruit, leading to elegant wines. The 37-year-old vines are ungrafted and selected from clones of pre-phylloxera rootstock. Grown in alluvium soils, with clay-loam content and stone at 80 centimetres depth, the soils are fertile, allowing the vines to express their full fruit potential. The vines are trained on the Lyre system, which allows the air and sun to circulate through the vine canopy and helps to prevent mildew. The vineyards are cultivated using sustainable agricultural methods to respect the land and its environment. |
