Arboleda Pinot Noir Aconcagua Valley 2022
Arboleda Pinot Noir from Chile's Aconcagua Valley is a captivating expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir, crafted from the Chilhué Vineyard on the Aconcagua Costa Estate. Highly influenced by cold Pacific Ocean breezes, this wine showcases the purity and elegance that defines premium Chilean Pinot Noir. Why You'll Love It This is Pinot Noir with remarkable freshness and finesse—bright cherry fruit, earthy complexity, and a savoury finish that lingers beautifully. The cool coastal influence creates a wine of exceptional balance, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity that make it incredibly food-friendly. At this price point, it offers outstanding quality from one of Chile's most exciting terroirs. Vineyard & Production Sourced from the Chilhué Vineyard on the Aconcagua Costa Estate, where cold Pacific Ocean breezes create ideal conditions for elegant Pinot Noir. The 2022 vintage began with little rain and warm temperatures, but cooler mid-season conditions allowed the grapes to develop perfectly mature tannins. Fermented in stainless steel tanks for 10-18 days at 25-28°C, then aged for 11 months in French oak barrels (15% new), adding subtle complexity without overwhelming the delicate fruit. Tasting Notes Bright and clean cherry colour with captivating purity. The nose reveals aromas of sour cherry, rosehip, and subtle earthy notes. On the palate, mellow bloody and saline nuances emerge—hallmarks of this unique terroir. Delicate structure with great balance, fine tannins, and a fresh, savoury finish that invites another sip. Perfect Pairings A versatile wine that shines with beef bourguignon, roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, charcuterie boards, or aged cheeses. Also excellent with roasted lamb, coq au vin, or earthy vegetable dishes. Grape Variety 100% Pinot Noir from Aconcagua Valley
Knightor Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Now obviously, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon do not ripen in this climate so this wine is made from grapes grown undercover. But, it makes for an interesting table chat and tasting. It has also been aged in a mixture of French oak barrels for over a year. On the nose there is aromas of blackcurrants spice and green pepper. The palate really shows this green pepper off with it being well integrated with stewed fruits and spice.
