No Es Pituko
2019 Voignier
Vineyard
  • Valley: Curicó Valley (Entre Cordilleras)
  • Soil: Alluvial in origin. Clay loam with the presence of stones at 80 cm. Fertile soils allow the vines to express all their vegetative and fruit potential.
  • Altitude: 243m above sea level.
  • Weather: Mediterranean with a long, dry summer season and intense sunlight. Marked DTR (Diurnal Temperature Range, or difference between day and night temperatures), key for assisting the development of flavours.
  • Annual rainfall: 600mm average during winter, mostly between June and August.

The vineyards at Viña Echeverría are located in the Curicó Valley and the rows are planted in an east-westerly direction to potentiate the sun’s exposure. We work with a model of micro viticulture, which means that each plot, no more than half a hectare, is identified according to its terroir and microclimate and planted, pruned, irrigated and harvested accordingly, resulting in grapes of optimum quality and flavor.

Tasting Notes
This natural wine has a delicate straw yellow colour and appears slightly cloudy in the glass due to its lack of processing. On the nose it has aromas of peach and tropical fruits such as chirimoya, that harmonize with a buttery characteristic due to its malolactic fermentation. In the mouth, the tropical and floral flavors linger and it’s good acidity highlights this wine’s freshness.
