LOUIS-ANTOINE LUYT

GROWN AND MADE ON THE TRADITIONAL LANDS OF THE: WALLMAPU (MAPUCHE)

2024 PIPEÑO BLANCO

This wine is made from a blend of Torontel, Corinto (Chasselas), Cristalina (Semillon) and Muscat d’Alexandria. The dry-farmed, own-rooted vines are between 100 and 200 years old. They're planted in a combination of sandy decomposed granite and clay with lots of quartz. The grapes are hand destemmed using the traditional zaranda method. The juice then ferments on skins for fifteen days with punchdowns in open top wooden vats. As they don't have a press, the free run is bled off into pipas for a short elevage. The wine is bottled at a modern facility to ensure consistency after a coarse filtration and 10-20ppm of SO2. 12.0%

2024 PIPEÑO PAÍS

The País for this project comes from 200 to 300 year old dry-farmed, own-rooted vines in Coronel del Maule. Sergio Perez has been farming this polyculture for over seventy years. The iron-rich clays are punctuated by quartz and granite. The grapes are hand destemmed using the traditional zaranda method. The wine ferments in open-top lagares for two weeks before being racked into traditional pipas for a brief élevage (they have no press). The wine is bottled at a modern facility to ensure consistency after a coarse filtration and 10-20ppm of SO2.  12.5% ABV
