Vina Maitia Aupa Pais/Carignan Pipeno - 2024 (750ml)

Importer's Notes:

• 80% Pais & 20% Carignan
• Multiple dry farmed vineyards located in Loncomilla, Maule with plantings that date back to 1895
• Granitic soils
• Fermented with indigenous yeast
• The País grapes are removed from the clusters manually by being hit over a zaranda, a metal grid that acts as destemmer and press, to a traditional concrete vat
• The Carignan is fermented with whole clusters, and then the blend is aged briefly in concrete
• Pipeño is the traditional method of winemaking in Chile, which dates back to the late 16^th century
