2022 Las Pizarras Pinot Noir

Medium intensity bright ruby, lovely vibrant colour, and enticing aromatics. Closer to a New Zealand or Oregon style of pinot in its intensity than Burgundy, with chewy and slightly sour red cherry notes, a ton of bright sage, bay leaf and pomegranate freshness. Easy to drink and full of pleasure, this has sweet and juicy fruit, and is hard to resist. No need to wait. Tomas Munoz winemaker, Eduardo Chadwick owner. One of the standouts of the March Releases lineup.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Las Pizarras, fermented with whole clusters, was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (25% new). Cherry-red in hue, it exudes aromas of herbs, sour cherry and pink peppercorn, underscored by hints of rose and sweet bread. Dry, compact and refreshing, it glides gracefully across the palate with delicate vibrancy. This is a rare Pinot Noir that encapsulates the coastal character in its entirety. In the impressive Errázuriz Vineyard, planted in Quillota with views of the Pacific Ocean, a collection of massal and clonal Pinot Noir plots thrive in shallow slate soils. The climate, influenced by cool sea breezes and sunny evenings, imparts a unique concentration and balance to the grapes.
