Pedro Parra Vinista Pais

23,10 €

The Pais variety is part of the magic of the Itata region in Chile. It was the first variety planted by immigrants who arrived in the country, and today one can find dry vines in cups that are over 100-140 years old. If the name Pais doesn't ring a bell, it is the same variety known as Listan Prieto in Tenerife and Criolla Chica in Argentina, and has now largely disappeared from the vineyards of Spain and California, where it had also migrated along with the colonists. The style of the wines may remind some of Jura's Trousseau. It is light in color, more earthy in aroma, ethereal and cool in texture. Vinista is a unique wine in a country that has become synonymous with overripeness, instead promoting elegance, finesse, and an energetic character, without lacking complexity or structure on the palate. And Vinista's tannins have an unexpectedly sharp bite.

More info

Along with Imaginador from the Cinsault variety, Vinista is the second of Pedro Parra's village wines (following Burgundy standards), which means that the fruit comes from different vineyards. And even though Pedro was a super-fan of the Cinsault variety for many years, Pais gradually managed to attract his interest much more. It is perhaps this connection with other regions of the world that are working to revive forgotten varieties and a heritage through the lens of old vineyards, something that Itata has in abundance with Pais, that inspired him. It is not just the old vines but the traditional winemaking methods that make wines such as Vinista stand out from the copy-paste wines from the global vineyard. Vinification with 50% whole bunches, in large foudres and stainless steel tanks, higher temperatures (22-24oC) during vinification, and a wine that is the definition of drinkability.

Give it time to open up and it will throw a party of aromas with saffron and curry, tobacco leaves, nuts such as walnuts and roasted almonds, and earthy notes of truffle. Full of umami on the palate, minerality reminiscent of peat and shellfish, intense...
