Pedro Parra y Familia - "Vinista" Pais (2021)

About this Wine

About the Wine

100% Pais. This wine is sourced from ancient bush vines and produced in a natural, transparent style: whole clusters are included during fermentation, with no oak used for aging. It is a fresh, vibrant red, a mash-up of Rhône Grenache, Cru Beaujolais, and Oregon Pinot Noir. Translucent garnet, with aromas/flavors of red flowers, wild strawberry, dusty earth, and fresh herbs.

Reviews

"The 2021 Vinista was produced with Pais grapes from four ancient vineyards, two with volcanic soils in Yipas and two on granite from Guarilihue. The grapes fermented slowly with their natural yeasts with 100% full clusters, and the wine matured in oak and concrete vats for 11 months. There is something in common with the Hub here; it has a more evolved color and a more evolved nose, very much … la Rayas, with iron and blood, cherries in liqueur and brick dust. This comes from a warmer place but with more soil, half of it basalt, and the granite from Yipas is very different from the one from Guarilihue; here, there is fine quartz and lots of silt, which gives more ripeness and Italian tannins. This is outstanding. It's the finest Vinista to date." - 93 points, Wine Advocate

"A delicious and unworldly pais with cool, minty red berries. Peppermint, wild raspberries, cloves, dried tangerine peel and white pepper funk. Medium-bodied palate, linear in style, with lots of chalky, crumbled tannins. Elegant and intriguing finish. Drink now. 1,200 cases made." - 93 points, James Suckling
