Sierra Grande Pinot Noir 2023

A wine full of finesse with a long, pure finish, Sierra Grande Pinot Noir captures the essence of Chile’s Valle Central with elegance and precision . Bright red fruit notes are complemented by subtle smoky undertones, creating a wine that is at once approachable and complex. Its vibrant acidity and silky texture reflect the careful balance achieved through thoughtful vineyard management and meticulous winemaking, resulting in a Pinot Noir that is expressive, nuanced, and perfectly suited to a range of occasions. Meet the producer Our winemaking team has been building long-standing relationships across Chile over the past two decades, sourcing premium fruit to create wines that reflect the country’s diverse terroirs. Production This Pinot Noir is sourced from a small hacienda in Maule. The 40–60-year-old vines grow in the shadow of the El Dezcabazado volcano on stony, fertile soils. Maule’s southern location, with glacial streams and pure mountain air, keeps temperatures cool, allowing the grapes to retain essential acidity. Grapes are hand-harvested during the coolest part of the day and vinified at low temperatures to preserve freshness and natural fruit character. No oak is used, highlighting the purity of the fruit. Tasting notes Deep and generous, with ripe raspberry and wild strawberry flavours complemented by subtle smoky notes. The palate is balanced with a lingering, elegant finish. Food match Enjoy on its own or pair with oriental duck salads or light Middle Eastern lamb dishes. Grape Pinot Noir 100%
