Viña González Bastías ‘País en Tinaja’ Tinto 2022

$26.00

Location: Chile, Maule Valley

Winemaker: Jose Luís González Bastías & Daniela Lorenzo

Grapes: País

Soil: River sand on top of granite bedrock

Winemaking: Organic farming. All the hand-harvested fruit is co-fermented, aged in Chilean clay amphora

From the Producer: This skin-contact wine evokes peaches and orange peel with a juicy mouth, deep minerality, medium acidity, and a long finish. Pair with spicy/sweet/creamy dishes (we at M&L think curries and long-braised meats).

From the Importer Brazos: Daniela Lorenzo and Jose Luis Gonzales Bastias are the couple behind one of Chile’s oldest, continuously family owned heritage Pais vineyards. They farm 4 hectares of seventh generation Pais that was planted over 200 years ago. Their land is on the southern shore of the Maule River close to the coast of Constitucion, in the Western Maule Valley. Their soil is river stones on top of a granite bedrock. The winery and cellar are on property, and many vignerons have spent time lending a hand here. Gonzales Bastias produces rare examples of age-worthy, estate-grown, natural, handmade Pais-centric wines. They are steeped in historical and cultural relevance and are a reference point for Chilean Wine.
