ANA MARIA CUMSILLE 2022 Cariñena 'Lomas Coloradas' (Itata, Chile)

This is 100% Carignan sourced from a single vineyard in Itata, Chile. Ana Maria Cumsille has been making wine for big and small houses for decades. She fell in love with the Itata region of Southern Chile, and after making friends with several families that farm small parcels of old bush vines, she decided to start buying fruit and making single vineyard wines from these families. This old vine Carignan is unique and singular. Aged 12 months in neutral French oak, it is soft and elegant. Licorice and dark balsamic on the nose, savory floral. Clay-like, soft tannins and gorgeous structure.
