De Martino, Viejas Tinajas Cinsault, Itata Valley, Chile, 2018

Overview of the Wine
Founded in Isla de Maipo (Chile), since 1934 the De Martino family has specialised in producing wines that reflect their origin and the character of each vineyard, based on solid principles of sustainable farming and traditional winemaking techniques. Today, the winery brings together the experience of the third generation of the family - represented by Pietro, Marco and Remo De Martino- with the dynamism and vision of Marco Antonio and Sebastián De Martino, the fourth generation. De Martino labelled and exported Chile’s first Carmenere in 1996 and was a pioneer winery working century-old vineyards in the Itata Valley, incorporating old winemaking techniques that set a precedent in South America.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A vibrant violet in color, the wine offers a floral and fragrant nose with notes of violets and fresh aromas of red and black fruits and spices. On the palate, it presents a medium body with fine, smooth tannins, a fresh acidity, and abundant fruit, accompanied by a long finish.

94 Points - James Suckling
This is a beautiful wine that shows fresh raspberries, citrus, herbs and hints of terracotta and iron. Medium-bodied with a lovely, steely texture, presented by medium-chewy tannins and loads of fresh red fruit. Purity is the calling card here.
