Itata Skin-Contact Semillon 2024

A skin contact Semillon from a tiny 0.3 hectare parcel of own rooted vines in Coelemu, near Chile's Pacific coast. The 40 plus year old vines grow on granitic soils and are harvested by hand before fermenting on their skins in stainless steel without temperature control. After fermentation, the wine rests for six months in stainless steel before bottling with minimal sulfur and without fining or filtration. Fresh and textured, it offers a focused expression of coastal Itata terroir.
