San Pedro, Tayu Pinot Noir, 2024

From the cool, rainy Malleco Valley, Tayu is made in partnership with the indigenous Buchahueico community. It has the wonderful, hedgerow fruit and savoury notes of a Cote de Beaune red Burgundy: rosehip, crab apple, medlar and sloe, with savoury hints of leather and roast lamb. In the mouth, both succulently fruity and completely dry, it has a nip of decidedly Burgundian tannin, masses of complex, dried herb, cured meat, truffle and dried mushroom notes, and fabulous palate length. An outstanding Pinot Noir.
