Piedra Liquida Pinot Noir

Description

Produced with grapes from young El Peral vineyards in Tupungato, the 2016

Pinot Noir was fermented in open barrels with native yeasts and matured in used

barrels for 16 months. There is an austere characteristic here, with some iron

and earthy notes, from a more exposed part of the vineyard, at a lower altitude

and with a little more maturity. The palate has lightness of red fruit but it is also

earthy, with some grainy tannins and a good balance between maturity and

freshness. It’s reminiscent of an austere Pommard or Volnay, yet with a playful

nature of the Andes.
