More about the wine

Inspired by the time time he spent in South Africa’s Swartland, Leo Erazo has been on a mission to show the stellar quality of Itata’s old bush vines and this Cinsault reveals the finesse that Itata wines can have. Elegant, floral and mineral with fine-grained tannins and a fresh, lasting finish. One of my favourite Chilean Cinsaults.

More about the winery

A los Viñateros Bravos is a project by Chilean winemaker Leo Erazo (of Rogue Vine, Altos Las Hormigas) in which he works with small growers in Itata. It’s a noble ambition: to make wines that celebrate and help finance the small growers which are rapidly disappearing in this region of old vines and ancestral winemaking techniques. But, fortunately, under the hand of Leo Erazo, the wines are, in general, excellent. A series of Cinsault, País and Moscatel.

More on the wine

Cinsault is one of the new belles of the south, and Itata is where she reigns. This wine is taken from old vines in Itata and is Koyle’s endeavour into some of the forgotten varieties of the south. They also make a fresh Cinsault rose here, and a white Muscat.

More on the producer

The Undurraga family are wine aristocracy in Chile, having founded Undurraga winery which is still one of the most important wineries in Chile. They sold Undurraga in 2006 and began Koyle – a smaller, biodynamic project based in Los Lingues, Colchagua.
