Location: Chile
Winemaker: David Marcel
Grapes: Pais, Carignan
From the Importer Brazos: David Marcel arrived to Chile fresh off the boat from France as a twenty-two year old winemaker looking for opportunity. After graduating with a wine degree from Montpellier, David worked for large wineries producing significant quantities of wine while simultaneously falling in love with his Chileño bride. David eventually decided to make his home in Chile, and two decades later, began producing wines primarily composed of Pais and Carignan from some of Chile’s most prized heritage old vines. David is a force and one of the most generous humans we have ever encountered. He is not only a strong voice for Viña Maitia, but he is also a tireless advocate for the artisan winemakers of Chile and continues to lead a path for his contemporaries, typically putting himself after others. David’s wines are understated, extremely drinkable wines of great value.
His rosé is 80% País, 20% Pedro Ximenez, macerated for a day on the skins and then fermented using only the free run juice; elevage is 5 months in concrete. Delicious! Rose petal, dry gentle tannin, sage and cranberry fruits. Drink very cold with meats of all kinds.
