What is this wine?
Pedro Parra, Chile’s famed terroir expert and “rock whisperer,” makes wine in the Itata Valley, home to some of the country’s oldest bush-trained vines. Monk is 100% Cinsault from very old, dry-farmed vineyards rooted in granite soils. Fermented naturally and aged in neutral vessels, it highlights freshness, texture, and minerality—hallmarks of Parra’s minimalist winemaking style.

Why get this wine?
Cinsault in Itata is one of Chile’s most exciting stories: old vines, forgotten terroirs, and a new wave of winemakers elevating it beyond its blending-grape past. With Parra’s deep understanding of soils, Monk expresses Cinsault with rare precision and depth, making it a standout example of the variety. It’s artisanal, authentic, and a superb value compared to Old World benchmarks.

What does this wine taste like?
Elegant and lifted, with red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate fruit woven with floral notes, pepper, and a stony mineral core. Light to medium-bodied, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity.

When should you drink this wine?
Best 2024–2029. Serve slightly chilled for maximum freshness. Pairs beautifully with charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roast chicken, or Mediterranean fare.
