Viña Echeverría

2020/21 Carménère Reserva, Viña Echeverría

Valle de Curicó, ChileVintage: 2020

With gentle tannins, this flavoursome Carmenère combines intense aromas of raspberries and cherries with ripe red bell pepper and hints of black pepper. Smooth and velvety, it is well balanced, with spice and berry fruit mirrored on the palate.

The vineyard is located in Molina in the Curicó Valley at an altitude of 243 metres. It is situated on the 35th parallel south, between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Intense sunshine is tempered by cooling sea breezes, allowing the grapes to achieve outstanding fruit aromas and exceptional colour concentration. The warm dry days and cold nights encourage a long growing season, which is ideally suited to produce healthy vines and grapes.

Description

Viña Echeverría is a family-run estate winery, owned and managed by the Echeverría family. Established in 1930, but with an agricultural heritage going back to the 1700s, Viña Echeverría is as much today, as always, driven by a shared passion for winemaking and an uncompromising search for excellence. Viña Echeverría combines nearly a century of viticulture and winemaking experience with a modern state-of-the-art winery, to produce an extensive collection of quality wines. The ‘No es Pituko’ range represents a radical departure from the rest of the more traditional Echeverría wines, both in look and make-up, being vinified naturally, without any additions at any stage. Viña Echeverría has recently been awarded its Sustainable Winery status by Wines of Chile, as well as its ISO9000 certification.

The grapes were fermented in 25,000 and 15,000 litre stainless steel tanks for seven to 10 days, with selected yeasts at controlled temperatures of 24 to 27°C. Post fermentation maceration took place for 10 days at 10°C in order to gently extract the desired level of colour and flavours. 100% of the wine underwent malolactic conversion, followed by four to five months in seasoned French oak barrels of third use or more, to impart subtle complexity and achieve softer tannins.
