Discover the elegance and complexity of Aconcagua Costa Pinot Noir, a captivating expression from the renowned coastal vineyards of Chile's Aconcagua region. Crafted exclusively from 100% Pinot Noir grapes, grown just 12 kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, this wine embodies a true sense of place. The combination of cool maritime influences and unique soils-comprised of a thin loamy layer atop clay and metamorphic rock-imparts distinctive mineral character, freshness, and aromatic purity. Careful handpicking, meticulous double sorting, and fermentation with native yeasts result in a Pinot Noir that is both vibrant and refined. Aged in French oak barrels, a small proportion of which are new, this wine showcases the skill of Vina Errazuriz's winemaking team.
