Viña González Bastías ‘Naranjo’ Blanco 2022
Location: Chile, Maule Valley
Winemaker: Jose Luís Gonzáles Bastías & Daniela Lorenzo
Grapes: 40% Pink Moscatel, 40% Torontel, 20% Pais
Soil: Sandy, granitic
Winemaking: Organic farming. De-stemmed using a Zaranda; indigenous yeast fermentation, 60 days on the skins. 6 months in Rauli.
From the Importer Brazos: ‘Matorral’ is 100% estate Pais is from a 200 year old single vineyard in the Maule region. Sweet notes of plum, almonds, anise, and brown sugar on the nose with hints of pineapple sage, pine nettles, and and brown sugar lead to a smooth, nicely balanced palate. This wine has a wild almost salve quality.
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.
