Pedro Parra y Familia Vinista

The pure País 2020 Vinista was produced with grapes from three ancient vineyards, two with volcanic soils in Ñipas and a third one on red granite from Guarilihue. The grapes fermented with their natural yeasts with 100% full clusters, and the wine matured in oak and concrete vats for 10 months. Despite the warm year and a reduction of 50% in the yields, the wine is fluid and elegant and has 13% alcohol. This is more volcanic, from a basalt soil like the one from Etna, and the wine shows it; and in terms of ripeness, he harvested early; and in the zone, the País never reaches 14% alcohol, so this 13% is the highest you're going to see. This is fruit-driven and elegant, and in a way, it reminded me of the Santa Cruz de Coya from Roberto Enríquez, with a faint touch of ash. This is superb. 13,512 bottles were filled in February 2020. The 2019 that I didn't taste was a great success, so he had to release the 2020 earlier.

Fruity and simple. The variety is noticeable because it brings out the typical strawberry note of these wines. Not a trace of the stems, all smooth. Pretty cool. A long-drink wine. I'm reminded of some beaujolais crus. The palate is very soft, light, fresh. Not excessively deep and a very pleasant style. To drink without getting tired. It has a complete, focused, Old World approach.
