Pedro Parra y Familia Imaginador 2016

Itata Valley, ChileFrom THE Terroir Doctor's own family project, this is Pedro Parra's blend of four vineyards, three in Itata (Guarilihue) and one in Cauquenes (Maule). Juicy plum, balsamic, pitch, wild plum, pink peppercorns are held with tight sidings, and finish with thorny resin. Bright and fresh, though this was picked two weeks later than Pedro would have optimally liked because Pedro didn't own a winery at that time, and was borrowing space to vinify. This wine draws a slice of reduction from the quartz, and tension from the granite. Great grippy texture throughout, positively vibrating with salts and energy along the finish. From 2017 this was produced in his own facility; I can't wait to taste these going forward.Tasted: 27 March 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
