Description
In a nutshell:
A full bodied, unoaked and very flavourful cloudy natural wine with fruity and nutty aromas.
The lowdown:
As a part of the world thats good for making natural wines, Chile has got to be one of the best. And Vina Echeverrías ¡No es Pituko! (meaning it aint fancy) range was one that particularly impressed us. Being naturally vinified means itll be a bit hazy in the glass and thats how its meant to be. All told, this is a Chardonnay with has quite intense aromas of banana, apple and pear which blend nicely with touches of toasted brioche. For an unoaked wine its still fairly full-bodied and rich and the creamy palate is balanced by a refreshing and fruity finish. A attractive example of naturally made Chardonnay.
The Producer:
The striking No es Pituko range of natural wines hails from Vina Echeverría, a family-run winery with roots in the 1930s. They farm 65 hectares sustainably in Chiles Central Valley. Chief winemaker Roberto Ignacio Echeverría runs the business with his three siblings. The modern transformation began in the 1980s when their father, a former World Bank economist, returned from the USA and renovated the rundown estate making it into the widely admired winery it is today.
When to drink:
When matching with food poultry, pork or vegetable dishes are the sorts of things that work well.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
