Itata Valley, Chile | The Itata Valley is one of the most special & historic wine growing regions in the whole dang world, and it is a deep pleasure to share its wines with you. Meet this spicy & savoury cinsault, broad and deep like a child’s cavernous mind, full of wonder and tiny wisdoms. Winemakers Daniela & Pablo of Vinos Mingaco farm this punchy cinsault at a fellow farmers property in a drier inland area, known as the Secano Interior of the Itata Valley. Hand harvested from 50 year old vines, the fruit is de-stemmed for an 11 day maceration to extract spiced tannins, and aged for a year in sixth-use American barrels which impart a slight woodsy-ness. Herbaceous pea blossoms, black locust flowers and violets, ripe blackberry smear, whole clove, elderberry syrup, black tea stain & tear dampened Earth. Pour alongside fire roasted veggies and reading about regenerative agriculture!

País, Cinsault, Aramón & San Francisco, Itata Valley, Chile | A gently murmuring light red blend begging for a chill and lulling us into a cool spring with its dulcet tones and hues. Winemakers Daniela & Pablo of Vinos Mingaco are huge proponents for minimal intervention winemaking, but with goals that span much farther than just their vineyards (can you say ACTIVE REFORESTATION!?). After transitioning their home site, this plot of over 100 year old, ungrafted vines is on its way to regenerative agriculture. An airy and dry coastal location that sees hot days, cool nights and sits on basaltic soils results in higher, balancing acidity levels. A tender and versatile blend of tart país (50%), floral cinsault (40%), herbaceous aramón (5%) & mysterious san francisco (5%). Purple flower, mouth of a cave, overripe strawberry, pennyroyal, Earth dust, dusk & a needle-point-fine structure. Pour alongside your favourite legume dish!
