More about the wine

Taking a fresh and delicate approach to coastal Pinot Noir, winemaker Rafael Urrejola selects parcels from different soil types (calcareous, granite and alluvial) to produce this fresh and tangy Pinot Noir. Fragrant red fruit aromas linger in this balanced, nuanced Pinot.

Matetic Syrah tasting note by Amanda Barnes for the South America Wine Guide

Matetic Syrah

by Amanda Barnes
written by Amanda Barnes

More about the wine

This Syrah is one of my all-time favourites from Chile — a wild ferment, artisanal wine which shows complex and intriguing aromas of smoked jerky, fine leather and crème brûlée. This is a meaty and wild Syrah, with the slow maturation and intensity you can achieve on the coast. The freshness on the finish brings it all together for a spicy finale that lingers for moments on the lips.

 

More about the winery

Matetic winery is at the forefront of the biodynamic wine scene in South America, as an inspiring leader with 140 hectares of vines over four estates. The sweeping vineyards straddle San Antonio and Casablanca and are between 13 and 19 km from the Pacific Ocean with a maritime climate. This combination of the cool coastal climate and weathered red and grey granite soils are expressed through the excellent portfolio of Matetic’s wines — all focused on freshness, tension and purity of place.

The winemaking team always blind taste all their different lots to pick which one goes to barrel, and it always happens to be this same lot: 8B. The roots are so deep that they anticipate being able to dry harvest within the next couple of years.

Boya, Pinot Noir

by Amanda Barnes
written by Amanda Barnes

More about the wine

Prioritising fruit expression and ditching the new oak, Boya is a Garces Silva wine, but under a very different concept and winemaker. The consultant winemaker for Boya is Rafael Tirado, and although this is the ‘second’ line (cheaper in simple terms), it is likely to pull in a different crowd – those seeking brighter fruit expression and simple wines. A slightly earlier harvest date, and aged six months in old (3rd + uses) oak barrels.
