About This Wine


Sueñoque

Pinot Noir

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking We strive to produce wines that express the individuality of the land and show nature’s touch. After selecting the best grapes, fermentation lasts eight days, allowing time for complexity, color and texture from the skins to fully integrate into the wine. Once balance is achieved, we age the wine for six months in French oak barrels. Bottling is the final step when the cork becomes the guardian of a wine laboriously crafted to be as close to perfect as possible.

Vintage Our Pinot Noir comes from the foothills of the Andes Mountains—from our Pangal vineyards. These vines are about 15 years old and rooted in a mix of stone, clay and sand soils. With wet weather behind us and summer on the horizon, bud break was right on schedule for the 2021 vintage. Vines sprung to life to find cooler temperatures and abundant water reserves thanks to winter’s snow. Summer stayed chilly, allowing grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in delightful red fruit flavor and superb balance.

Pairing Logic This Pinot is light and lively. Its colorful fruit flavors and refreshing acidity will shine next to dishes will high salt and fat content, herbal seasonings, rich sauces, or fruity marinades. Grilled chicken and turkey make excellent protein selections, especially greasy drumsticks and thighs. Generously salted roasted root vegetables will play into the wine’s earthy, graphite characteristics while highlighting its ripe fruit flavors. Top your dish with a creamy sauce or play further into fruit with berry-based marinades.

Wine Region


Pangal Vineyards

A sub-region of a sub-region, the Loncomilla Valley DO is nested inside Chile's famous Maule Valley within its large Central Valley region. This small winegrowing area is home to a diverse mix of red and white grape varieties, with a primary focus on Bordeaux-style blends that feature Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Located about 50 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, this region enjoys wet winters and long summers filled with warm days and chilly evenings. This long growing season also makes it an excellent source of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, in addition to local favorites Carménère and Carignan. Chile’s Denomination of Origin (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% 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.

Our Pinot Noir has a fresh, savory character and elegant texture. The nose is youthful and bright with spiced berry, that carries through to the palate, where cranberry, cherry, and earth flavors mingle with a touch of minerality and gentle tannins before a soft finish.
