‘Naranjo En Transicion’

Muscat of Alexandria, Itata Valley, Chile 

A concentrated and excitedly-aromatic Chilean orange for big Sunday dinners. Winemakers Daniela De Pablo and Pablo Pedreros, plus their children Luan and Mayra, are the beautiful family behind Mingaco, a regenerative farm & winery in the village of Checura, along the Itata river. Their vision of the future in the Itata Valley extends far beyond growing grapes and fermenting wine, as they are actively reforesting the valleys around their vineyards with regional plants, leaving grape monoculture in the rearview. Sourced from over 100-years-old muscat of alexandria vines, the grapes spent eight months on skins locking in unforgettable aromatics, before the free run juice was collected and aged for 15 months to settle. FUN FACT! This cuvee is named ‘En transición’ as it marked the first year of regenerative cultivation methods being introduced to these vines! GOOD CHANGES ARE HAPPENING! Ground cherry, fresh nutmeg (wow!), papaya, fresh chamomile, if JUJUBES were made out of flowers AND fruit, sand & dots of green bitters on the end. Enjoy alongside aromatic rice, couscous and lentil salads.
