Amelia, Pinot Noir 2021

"The varietal 2021 Amelia Pinot Noir was produced with grapes from Quebrada Seca in Limarí on colluvial soils with limestone. It fermented with around 40% full clusters (this has grown) in open-top vats and matured in Burgundy oak barrels, was a cooler year, and the wine shows it, even if the coastal part of Limarí cushions the effect of the warmer years (like 2020, which was a lot less warm here than in inland parts of Chile; I retasted the 2020 to check the evolution, which is great). It's crunchy and has the nervosity from the stems, floral, perfumed and elegant. It is textured and fresh, varietal, bright and young." - Wine Advocate

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Amelia comes from the Quebrada Seca vineyard in the Limarí Valley. It was fermented in steel tanks as much as 50% in whole bunches and the rest destemmed and aged for 12 months in 18% new French oak Burgundy barrels. A bright ruby-red in the glass. The pure, fruity nose presents sweet and sour cherry notes as well as damp earth and gentle herbal aromas. Dry and silky in the mouth, the lean, chalky palate is austere in texture but full of flavor. A skeletal Pinot Noir with lasting fruity flavor. Will grow in the bottle." - Vinous
