The pure Pinot Noir 2020 Quebrada Chalinga comes from vines planted 12 kilometers away from the ocean in Limarí (Talinay), from a plot on granite and limestone soils that was rented long term. The vines were planted ungrafted in 2006. It fermented with 50% full clusters and was left in an infusion in an open vat. It matured in neutral, well-seasoned oak barrels for 16months. It's 13.4% alcohol with a pH of 3.43 and six grams of acidity (tartaric). It has a light translucent ruby color, moderate ripeness and good freshness with aromas of blood orange, violets and wet chalk, a spicy touch and imperceptible oak. It's very dry, with some grainy tannins and a long, tasty and almost salty finish, very dry. This feels lighter, more like a white, while the white Chardonnay has a texture that makes you think of a red... Go figure!

..Cherry red in the glass. The attractive nose presents notes of sweet spice, stalk and cherry, along with messier flavours such as mushrooms and wet earth. Smooth and silky with good tension, it has a chalky, saline feel before the lengthy finish, where the oak returns. An accomplished wine.
