There is a new País from a vineyard planted in 1895 that he rents in Ñipas on black basalt soil, first produced in 2020 but I tasted the 2021 Soulpit. It fermented in concrete with 60% stems for 18 days and with a 30-day maceration. It matured in oak vat for 11 months. País does not deliver high alcohol, and this is only 12.5%. It has a mixture of flowers, cherries in liqueur, aromatic herbs and brick dust, a mixture of the Comando G and Rayas styles and characters. It has more generous tannins, not as tight as the ones from granite. Apparently, there's an even better País that I should taste one of these days soon... 2,562 bottles were filled in February 2022. ... More details

Bright , ethereal and characterful, full of wild raspberries, anise, white pepper funk, tiger balm and licorice. Tight and slightly chewy tannins give it a somewhat austere feel, if not a little rustic, too. That said, there is a lot to like on the palate, showing the attractive agility and super tanginess and assertiveness of a good pais. Very old vines from silty basaltic soils. Enjoy now.
Winery

Country: Chile

Whilst being widely regarded as definitively 'New World' as a wine producing country, Chile has actually been cultivating grapevines for wine production for over five hundred years. The Iberian conquistadors first introduced vines to Chile with which to make sacramental wines, and although these were considerably different in everything from flavor, aroma and character to the wines we associate with Chile today, the country has a long and interesting heritage when it comes to this drink. Chilean wine production as we know it first arose in the country in the mid to late 19th century, when wealthy landowners and industrialists first began planting vineyards as a way of adopting some European class and style. They quickly discovered that the hot climate, sloping mountainsides and oceanic winds provided a perfect terroir for quality wines, and many of these original estates remain today in all their grandeur and beauty, still producing the wines which made the country famous.
