ABOUT THIS WINE
Bodegas Viceroyalty 2020 Pinot Noir Maule Valley DO, Chile
Pinot Noir
WINE REGION:
Maule Valley
When it comes to well-balanced reds of great value, Chile's Maule Valley is hard to beat. The southernmost part of Chile's Central Valley, Maule is a large sub-region with many microclimates and soil types. The Maule River and the nearby Pacific Ocean both greatly influence its climate. Maule was one of the first places in Chile planted with grapevines. It is famed today for its 100-year-old Carignan vines and the densely sumptuous wines they produce. More typical, however, are its powerful Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy aromatic Carménère and plush Merlot reds. For whites, check out Maule's cheery Sauvignon Blanc and rounded Chardonnay. Chile’s Denominación de Origen (DO) classification system focuses on separating wines by the physical location of origin. To use the DO classification on a label, a producer must have pulled 85 percent of the fruit used in a wine from a defined regional location. The DO system names wine regions in the country from north to south.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Bodegas Viceroyalty
South America's distinguished winemaking history began during the "Age of Discovery," marked by the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors. In the early 1500s, these explorers journeyed down from North America through Mexico, bringing new ideas and technology to what they referred to as the Viceroyalty of New Spain. One of the most important debuts was the European grapevine and, with it, an introduction to the winemaking process. Though this industry was slow to take hold, once it did, it ignited a passion throughout South America that burns to this day. Nowadays, Chile and Argentina serve as the backbone of South American wine, having carved a place amongst the world's top producers with their unparalleled terroir and distinctive styles. The wines of Bodegas Viceroyalty uphold this reputation, respect for history and above all, the expectation of excellence.
