Opzioni di acquisto
Note di degustazione
The first vintage of Selección de Parcelas, with the very first fruit from the Baettig vines, and never released. The 2016 is showing some beautiful development, with honey, sweeter plump peach and nutty complexity. Cooked apple and dried mango sit alongside a zing of limey citrus, with a line of bright acidity that runs through the palate and brings lovely energy. Gorgeous. Aged for 16 months in only used oak. Production: 2,160 bottles

It was a pleasure to taste the 2016 Selección de Parcelas Los Primos Chardonnay, the inaugural Chardonnay vintage from Baettig's property in Traiguén that never saw a commercial release. It offers the most creamy, opulent bouquet of the vintages presented, leading with toasted hazelnut, pastry cream and butterscotch aromas. The palate is soft and broad with a honeyed feel before finishing with a long, layered and expansive finish. This performed very well in the glass, and even as an "experimental" wine, it is a solid testimony to the longevity that can be expected from more refined iterations.
Complex but still fresh with some toast and honey, as well as ripe lemon and melon fruit with some orange peel character and a touch of hazelnut. Lovely depth and intensity here with nice bright acidity on the finish. This is evolving in nice ways.

Baettig è l'entusiasmante progetto del famoso enologo Francisco Baettig (noto per Errázuriz). Produrre vini vibranti ed espressivi del territorio dal sud del Cile, con Pinot Nero e Chardonnay a Malleco e Cabernet Sauvignon a Maule: questo è uno dei nomi più in voga del Sud America.
