Pais - Cinsault 2022 Pipo de Basto with crisp appleA lively coastal red made from old vines in the Secano Interior of Itata Valley. The Cinsault vines are over 50 years old and the Pas vines exceed 120 years, planted on volcanic alluvial soils just 26 km from the Pacific Ocean. Grapes are hand harvested and fermented on skins in plastic vats for four months before the free run wine ages in old American oak. The result is a light, energetic red with freshness and aromatic lift.
