Overview:
The De Martino 2018 Viejas Tinajas Muscat is a heritage wine rooted in tradition, crafted in the historic amphorae of the Itata Valley. This 100% Moscatel of Alexandria pays homage to Chile's earliest vineyards, first planted in 1551. Originating from a cool, coastal terroir with granite-rich soils, this limited-production wine captures the essence of Guarilihue’s unique climate and geology. Aromatic and characterful, it’s a masterpiece of old-world winemaking meeting modern finesse, with only 5,400 bottles available worldwide.
Tasting Notes:
Aromatic intensity defines this Muscat, with vibrant floral and fruity notes on the nose. The palate is textured and harmonious, offering fresh acidity balanced by the rich, silky feel imparted by six months of skin contact. Vinified in centennial amphorae, the wine reveals layers of tension, volume, and smoothness, leaving a long-lasting impression. Serve at 14°C to fully appreciate its complexity and enjoy its ageing potential of up to 10 years.
