Old vines of Moscatel and Semillon, fermented separately with a few weeks maceration and then blended. Goes great with a fresh spring pasta dish with peas and mint.
Pais grown on volcanic 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.
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.
A great representation of Itata's old bush vines of Cinsault and Pais, this wine is light in colour and expresses its original rootstock on granite soils with bright red fruit.
