Echeverria - No Es Pituko Cabernet Franc 2023 750ml

No Es Pituko Cabernet Franc 2023 delivers an intense and unadulterated expression of Chilean terroir. Sourced from single-vineyard, ungrafted pre-phylloxera rootstock in the Maule Valley, Viña Echeverría hand-picks these vines at peak ripeness. The winemakers destem, crush, and cool the fruit to eight degrees Celsius before a twenty-four hour cold settling. Natural yeasts drive a slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel over twenty-five days. Soft pump-overs gently extract vivid color and fresh aromas. Stored on its lees without filtration, stabilization, or added sulfites, this red wine bottled at peak purity captures all the energy of a direct tank sample.

The glass opens with concentrated aromas of juicy black cherry and ripe blackberry fruit. On the palate, a fresh crunchy feel emerges alongside vibrant acidity and grippy, structured tannins. The focus remains squarely on pure primary fruit flavors from start to finish. Serving this red slightly chilled brightens the dark berry core and sharpens its firm architecture. Moving past heavily oaked commercial styles, this natural Cabernet Franc presents a pristine, food-friendly profile brimming with raw potential and vitality.
