"The 2023 País - Cariñena Blanco Phoenix Ferment from Maule offers aromas of apples, wild herbs and green olives with an herbal undertone. This is creamy and fresh, with moderate tension and mid-palate weight. Lees aging added a creamy texture to this distinctive white."

"The 2023 País-Cariñena Phoenix Ferment is a beautiful and unique expression of blanc de noirs, derived from bush-trained vines that range in age from 35 to 150 years, fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel. It opens with a pure, soft and floral bouquet, presenting a gently creamy, clean and pure palate, which transitions to a delicate, transparent finish."
