Morandé Pionero Pinot Noir Reserva 2017
Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe grapes come from the cool, marine-influenced, sandy clay soils of Belén Vineyard in Casablanca. The vineyard is high-density (10,000 plants/hectare), the grapes are machine harvested (note the price), but there is berry selection at the winery. There is a three-day cold soak followed by traditional gentle pump overs to near dryness. It’s stored in stainless steel tanks with 25 percent aged in used French oak barrels for 3 months. The nose is a mix of red fruits and tea with a whiff of dried herbs and forest floor. Light, fresh, and juicy this is fun to drink. Perfect with chicken or pasta dishes or a favourite Asian noodle dish. Only 13 percent alcohol.Tasted: 11 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $12.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
