Region
The Colchagua Valley is a three hour drive south of Santiago and home to many of Chile`s finest wineries. The region extends from the Andes to the Pacific Coast which allows a variety of wines to be produced. The Andes mountains which dominate the country tower over the and are the water source used to irrigate the vines. The region is renowned for many of the finest Merlots, Cabernets and Carmenère but also in cooler sites Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Producer
The Viña La Playa estate occupies some of Colchagua Valley`s most desirable acreage benefitting from its own unique micro-climate due to the Tinguirrica and Limarí rivers which run through the vineyards. Comprising 600 acres and a $10 million state of the art winery, this excellent producer is owned by the Sutil family who make superb modern fruit-driven wines from grapes sourced entirely from the estate. By entering 1% For the Planet, La Playa Wines committed to donate every year 1% of its net sales to non-profit NGOs that conserve, restore and study the Environment.
Tasting Notes
From Chilie`s Colchagua valley, this Pinot Noir is a light ruby colour with a bouquet of red berry fruits. The palate is medium bodied with an elegant mouthfeel and notes of red cherries and a perfumed note on the finish.
Food
Perfect when paired with pâtés or other charcuterie. Also a good match to roast chicken or turkey.
