Profile & Story
Roberto Henríquez farms centuries-old, dry-farmed, bush-trained vines on the granitic Coastal Cordillera of Chile's Itata Valley, working the land personally with the help of draft animals. Rivera del Notro Blanco blends Semillón, Corinto (a synonym for Chasselas), and Muscat of Alexandria (Moscatel) from very old vineyards, harvested and fermented separately — Corinto first, then Muscat, then Semillón — before blending, and made with extended skin contact in the orange-wine style.
Tasting Notes
This skin-contact Itata field blend shows a heady, complex bouquet of potpourri and resinous herbs over a svelte, elegantly concentrated palate, with the higher acidity and mineral, saline edge that Corinto (Chasselas) contributes to the blend.
