An intriguing nose with wild berry, herb, spice and white pepper aromas. These aromas carry through to the palate and are complemented with refreshing acidity and fine tannins.

The fruit is sourced from a single vineyard located in Portezuelo in the heart of Itata. The vineyard is on a gentle slope and is 300 metres above sea level. The dry farmed vines are over 120 years old and grown on very poor granitic soils.

Pedro Parra is a renowned soil and vineyard mapping expert with a Masters and PhD in Precision Agriculture and Terroir from the Institut Agronomique National in Paris. As a consultant to many well-known wineries in the Americas and Europe, he has spent much of the past 18 years discovering new sites, digging ‘calicatas’ (pits for soil analysis) and transforming how wineries manage their vineyards. In 2013, assisted by consultant winemaker, long-term friend and business partner Alberto Antonini, Pedro released Chilean wines under his own, eponymous label. His vision is simple: to make pure wines from old bush vines in Itata, grown on granitic soils, and help the local “brave vignerons” who protected the land and vines for centuries.
