Following the arrival of Chile's first Pinot Noir vines in the mid-1900s, this French grape quickly took to the vineyards of the Maule Valley. Here, the temperature-moderating Maule River ensures these thin-skinned grapes do not overripen under the powerful Chilean sun.

WINE REGION:
Maule Valley DO
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.

TASTING NOTES:
Pomegranate
Plum
Vanilla
Enticing aromas of vanilla join wild strawberries for a vibrant introduction to this wine. The palate is light-bodied with modest acidity and stiff tannins. Though its bouquet is bright, this Pinot’s flavors are richer and riper than the nose implies, displaying ripe bramble fruit, pomegranate, and plum.

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.
