Roberto Henríquez Ascencio made wine in Canada, South Africa and the Loire Valley before settling in the Bío Bío region of Chile. He works with very old vines that have been farmed organically or biodynamically. This fresh skin contact white is made of roughly equal parts Sémillon, Muscat of Alexandria and Corinto (aka Chasselas). It has notes of ripe orange, grape, and white pepper, but the palate is quite refined, with the skin-contact lending an appealing structure, and plenty of minerality balances notes of orange, peach, and pear. It’s intensely floral, lightly textured and altogether delicious.
A blend made with three traditional varieties from the coastal area of the Itata valley, Semillon, Corinto (aka Chasselas), Moscatel
