Espiritu de Chile Interipido Reserva Red Blend 2020

Espiritu de Chile wines are crafted for the adventurer. For those seeking to find some of the best wines the Maule Valley of Chile has to offer. Located 180 miles south of the capital city, Santiago, the Maule Valley is part of the larger Central Valley growing region, the largest grape growing region in the country. This region features a vast array of terroirs, from river valleys to the hillsides of the Andes. 

For hundreds of years this valley has been home to the most emblematic varieties of Chile’s wine industry, thus developing a winemaking tradition and ancestral customs which remain relevant to this day. The grapes in this Red Blend were carefully harvested and vinified with fermentation taking place under controlled temperature conditions between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius to preserve the freshness, smoothness and intensity of aromas. Following fermentation, 50% of the blend was aged in third fill or older French and American oak barrels for six months and the remainder was aged in stainless steel vats to preserve its fruity aromas. This reserve blend features 60% Carignan, 30% Pais, and 10% Cinsault and delivers aromas of berry jam in well-balanced harmony with spicy aromas of nutmeg, clove and licorice. Fresh and gentle on the palate with a fruit-driven finish. 

An ideal wine to accompany lean meats, game birds and pasta with white truffle or mushroom-based sauces. 

ABV 13%
