2022 Pedro Parra 'Vinista' País

100% País. Organically farmed. Sourced from dry-farmed different vineyards: 2 granitic vineyards in the area of Guarilihue Alto and 2 black silty basalt vineyards in Ñipas. Hand harvested. 60% whole cluster fermentation with indigenous yeast in open oak and steel tanks. Aged in concrete and large oak casks for 1 year.

"The 2022 Vinista hails from four vineyards, two planted on granite in Guarilihue and two on dark, sandy volcanic soils in 'ipas. It opens with a highly floral and slightly medicinal nose that introduces a soft, delicate palate with a higher degree of precision than typically associated with the variety. It concludes with a spry, powdery and perfumed finish. This is a dramatically overperforming and serious expression of País." 93 Points - Wine Advocate
