More about the wine
A natural wine, made from wild Pais vines – País Salvaje is an oddity for the Bouchon family and also Chile. The vines seeded naturally carried by bees and the wind, and grew in the middle of a creek among the vineyards. The wine was vinified naturally with nothing added in the process. If you have tasted some of the ‘natural’ Pais wines before, this might come as a surprise: there are no earthy or funky aromas, this is bright fruit and a fresh and juicy finish.
