A magnum of orange wine from an brillant natural winemaker in the south of Chile. Over one hundred year old vines of Torrontes, locally called Torontel, with some Semllion trained as bush vines and always dry farmed without pesticides. Fermented with native yeasts with skin contact until full dryness (2 to 3 weeks maceration in total). Bottled without filtering, naturally hazy with sediment. Nothing added except a tiny degree of sulfites at bottling. Only released in magnum bottles, a mere 400 made.

Roberto Henriquez Description

Roberto Henríquez studied agronomy and enology at the University of Concepción. From there, he travelled and worked with winemakers in Canada, South Africa and finally in the Loire Valley with Rene Mosse. Rene had a profound effect on Roberto’s perspective on winemaking and his progression into organic and biodynamic farming.

Roberto, originally from Concepción, returned home after his time in abroad to begin making his own wine. Returning to the traditional Pipeño methods of the original winemakers of Chile felt intuitive to the winemaking style he had adopted. The rest of his story to present is pure progression to the pursuit of the most pure wines in a true Chilean context.
