🍷 A Taste of Chile’s Forgotten Vines—Revived with Soul and Precision
✨ In the Glass
A luminous ruby hue with garnet reflections, modestly translucent, nodding to its ancestral roots and minimal intervention style.
👃 On the Nose
Elegant and expressive aromas of wild strawberries, dried herbs, rosehip, and pomegranate, interwoven with earthy undertones and a whisper of smoke—evocative of the old vines and volcanic soils.
💫 On the Palate
Light-bodied yet intense. Juicy red fruit and subtle savoury notes dance over finely grained tannins and bright acidity. The texture is silky, the structure graceful, with a pure, mineral finish that lingers with finesse.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Excellent with grilled quail, mushroom risotto, or lentil stew. Also pairs beautifully with rustic Mediterranean fare or Chilean empanadas.
⏳ Ageing Potential
Fresh and soulful now, yet capable of developing added complexity over the next 5–7 years.
🌟 Why You’ll Love It
‘Las Olvidadas’ (The Forgotten Ones) is more than a wine—it’s a revival of Chile’s viticultural history. Crafted from century-old vines, this is a beautifully nuanced, terroir-driven red that captures the essence of tradition with modern precision. A true connoisseur’s gem.
