"The 2023 Pa¡s - Cari¤ena Phoenix Ferment Single Ferment Series is a rare gem in the wine world: a co-fermented white blend of Cari¤ena and Pa¡s, sourced from the Maule Region. With tropical notes dominating the bouquet, it presents a mix of herbs, peaches and melon. Indulgent and rich, its taut, refreshing profile builds up to a nimble palate. This is a delightful summer sipper with a hint of sophistication."

"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."

"Subtle, elegant nose with sliced apples, stones and a touch of lees. Creamy in texture with medium body and fresh acidity. Stone fruit with subtle mineral notes at the end and good length. Drink now."

"One of the more singular wines in a thoroughly unique portfolio is the 2024 País-Cariñena Phoenix Ferment, a blanc de noirs-style white wine made from a mix of País vineyards up to 150 years old and Cariñena vineyards up to 50 years old. A sheer, delicate bouquet of floral and citrus blossom aromas introduces a palate of impressive substance and depth, concluding with a linear, focused finish."
