Tasting Notes: ‘This is the second vintage of Duego Urra's top-notch País, sourced from a one-hectare parcel in cooler, Pacific Ocean-influenced Truquilemu. Showing just the right amount of structure, it has an engaging mix of savoury tannins, pomegranate, goji berry and redcurrant flavours and sculpted, fine-grained tannins’.

Winemaking: Grapes were hand harvested and destemmed. Whole berries were added to the fermentation vats and gently extracted its complex components, using punch downs only. Maceration lasted for 20 days, after which 90% of the wine was transferred to a concrete tank and the remaining 10% to a used French oak barrel. The wine was aged for 12 months prior to bottling. Only some sulphur treatment if needed. Weed control by hand or horse. Only 3720 bottles were made.
