Pais grown on granite soils in the far south of Chile's Itata region. 150 year old vines that will give you a sense of Chilean winemaking from before Cabernet and Carmenere took over.

Table wine from Leo Erazo's vineyards planted in the 1950s, which I suppose counts as young for him. 100% Cinsault made traditionally and bottled in a 1L bottle.

Full bodied and bold Chilean Cab with dark fruit, cinnamon, and toasted oak notes.

Light bodied and cherry fruited with a little bit more acidity than the Cabernet Sauvignon.

Medium bodied Rose with juicy red fruit flavours and a touch of sweetness.

Just off-dry with fruity citrus notes and a touch of herbaceousness on the finish.

A style of wine known colloquially as pour ma gueule is the winemaker's blend for home use. The Clos des Fous version uses Pais, Malbec, Carignan, and other varietals for a full bodied, smoky, table wine.

Light, violet scented, and mineral Pinot Noir that's more Old World than New.

Approximate drinking window:  2024-2036.

Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, with a little Cab Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, all from the alluvial soils of the old Tocornal estate, where the Andean foothills meet the Alto Maipo.
