Arcillas de Laberinto Pais

Garnet purple in colour. The bouquet shows cherry and raspberry aromas are fruity and fresh, not wild or gamey. The palate is on the upswing, and this is a light floral example that's showing the varietal meatiness and sappy sweet aromas the grape is known for. The finish shows red currant, plum and cinnamon but with a hint of savoury notes.

Oriented to produce high quality wines. Located in the beginning of the Andes mountains. The vineyard is planted at 600m (1900 ft) of altitude. Laberinto is a small gravity fed winery owned by Rafael Tirado and his family in Colbun, by a lake, in an eastern mountainous region of the Maule Valley. He began to plant vines in 1993 and now cultivates 5 separate sections totalling 18ha of vineyards within their 80ha property. The soils are composed of granite and volcanic ash. He planted on the slopes in multiple row orientations, eventually planting a section as a labyrinth (Laberinto), hence the name of the wines and the drawings on the labels. The winery produces stunning expressions.
