Undurraga, Terroir Hunter Pinot Noir Malleco
Deep garnet
Fresh black cherries layered with pencil shavings, bacon fat and rosemary. A combination of wild herbs, forest fruit and mineral notes with a whisper of smokey bacon and coffee over the top.
This is an earthy wine where exotic spice, fresh acidity and a gravelly texture leave you reaching for the next glass.
Black garlic and mushroom pate with bacon.

Part of the Undurraga terroir-focused series, this Terroir Hunter Pinot Noir takes the Chilean winery a bit further afield – into the cool climes of Malleco in southern Chile.
You can taste this alongside their coastal Pinot Noir but be prepared to taste a very different expression of Chilean Pinot Noir – much earthier with a fresh acidity and lower alcohol.
