Casa Silva Cool Coast Pinot Noir

2195

TASTING NOTE

Oh my, this is heaven in a glass! It shows what can be done when Pinot Noir is grown in the right place, with the right soil and climate and is handled minimally by a very good winemaker. Crushed raspberries and vanilla in a glass. If this was from New Zealand you'd be paying twice as much for the quality.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

From the original vineyard site and winery in Angostura, new sites have been found and planted in Los Lingues, Lolol and Colchagua's first coastal estate at Paredones. With the inception of the 'Microterroir Project' and also the 'Carmenere Clone Project' now fully underway, the future is incredibly bright for Vina Casa Silva.
