Pedro Parra is the world's premier wine soil scientist, so terroir is his life's work. His wines from his home region of Itata are extra-special representations of the corner of the world he knows best, and this expression of the Pais grape is a tasty tribute to this cool, oceanside region. Red berries, delicate floral notes, and an enticing hint of smoke.

"The 2023 Vinista was produced with País grapes from four ancient vineyards, two with volcanic soils in 'ipas 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 à 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 'ipas 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. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023."
