CONCHA Y TORO Pinot Noir 'Amelia' Quebrada Seca Vineyard - Limari Valley 2020/22 Bottle

Description

Quebrada Seca in Limari the source of the best Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from Chile. These vineyards were planted in 1999, on clay and limestone soils with unique calcareous colluvial stones. That, according to winemaker Marcelo Papa, has a profound impact on the tannins, which are firm and juicy, interacting with the fruit, providing structure and freshness. It is a complex and multi-layered wine, with red cherries and a hint of black tea leaves. Refreshing, it has an excellent combination of structure and minerality, with a long and fresh finish. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels (20% new).
