TASTING NOTES

The grapes for La Piu Belle Rosé 2023 were harvested early - some 3-4 weeks before those for the red wines - and at night. They were slowly pressed for 2 hours and then the first half of the fermentation took place at a low temperature (12oC), which was then increased to 15oC° until the fermentation was complete, to add body and enhance the aromatic palette.

With the Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Carmenère we were seeking a wine filled with red fruit notes but that would also surprise with nuances of apricot, peach, passionfruit and some notes of citrus fruit like orange and blossom. In the mouth, it delicately fills the mid-palate with vibrant acidity, giving movement to the wine with structure and a creamy texture thanks to the ageing in our barrels. Once the fermentation was complete, 16% of the wine went into Barroir barrels for a month and a half to evolve over its fine lees.

Silver Medal, Global Travel Retail Masters 2023

"An enchanting nose exhibits white flowers and fruity notes of strawberry and raspberry. This rosé has a mineral character and offers bright flavors of berries alongside a lively acidity. The lasting finish shows fresh citrus notes."
- 90/100, Wine Enthusiast

"This is one of the good rosés on the Chilean market today, a selection of different varieties planted on granitic soils on VIK's property in the Cachapoal Valley. 10% of the wine was aged in barrels for a month, but the rest has only seen stainless steel tanks to preserve the fruity character of the grapes that were harvested early in the season. The result is a perfume of red fruits and flowers and a body that's juicy and refreshing, although with very good concentration. This is a rosé for an aperitif, but also to eat with. This year’s blend is 79% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc, 7% syrah, and, for the first time, 5% carmenere."

"Pale brass with subtle pink reflections. On the nose, hints of apple peel, some cinnamon, dried pears, plum and orange zest with background notes of blossom honey. Powerful on the palate, ripe yellow apple, subtle acidity and a fruity finish with minerality."
