ABOUT THIS WINE:
Ralí
Pinot Noir
"Best in Show" Ralí brings Chile's terroir to the table with our 2020 Pinot Noir. This wine is distinctly Chilean, showcasing this noble grape's fruit-forward style. Peppery aromas introduce ripe red fruit flavors, soft textures, and subtle oak influence for wine that effortlessly combines elegance with rustic charm. In the Mediterranean climate of Chile's Maule Valley, Pinot Noir experiences an abundance of sun-filled days. This thin-skinned grape variety would usually be at risk of overripening in warm weather. Luckily, nightfall brings cooling winds from the nearby Andes that sweep through the valley, providing a welcome pause in ripening. This allows Pinot Noir to retain its balanced acidity levels and nuanced aromas. This kind of wine is best when shared around a crowded table as you connect with those you love.

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.
