El Viejo del Valle Pinot Noir 2024
El Viejo del Valle Pinot Noir is a bright, textural Chilean Pinot Noir bursting with red currant, raspberry, and wild strawberry notes, leading to a juicy, vibrant palate. Meet the Producer Our winemaking team in Chile has spent over two decades building relationships with growers across the country. They focus on sourcing fruit from small, high-quality vineyards in the Central Valley, ensuring each wine expresses its terroir and character. Production Grapes come from 40–60-year-old Pinot Noir vines planted on stony soils in the Andes, with access to glacial streams and fresh mountain air. Harvesting is done during the coolest part of the day, and the winemaking is conducted at low temperatures to preserve the fresh fruit aromas and bright structure. Tasting Notes A textural and expressive Pinot Noir, with a juicy palate of summer fruits including red currant, raspberry, and wild strawberries. Long, bright, and full of life, reflecting the stony, glacial vineyard soils of the Central Valley. Food Match Pairs beautifully with marinated ribs, pink lamb, roasted vegetables, or mushroom and chicken risotto. Grape Varieties Pinot Noir 100%
