The Wine The Wine
Chile
Region:Maipo Valley
This wine is crafted from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc vines which have a unique ability to transmit their origin at the purest level because they are ungrafted. De Martino carefully tend these ungrafted vines and use sustainable farming methods, striving to produce wines with the maximum expression of terroir - in this case Maipo Valley. With its mild Mediterranean climate and gravel rich soils, Bordeaux varieties flourish and show incredible quality. The nose on this wine brims with lemon zest, ripe white peach and hints of gravel, and in the mouth there is a lovely textural element which adds finesse to this light and refreshing white. Culminating in a long, harmonious finish, it reveals the potential of this part of the Maipo Valley for excellence when it comes to Bordeaux white varieties.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Nicolás Peréz
Nicolás Peréz works alongside the fourth generation of the De Martino family. Although he grew up in Santiago, Chile, during his teenage years he travelled constantly to Chilean Patagonia, where he worked on the culinary project of one of his brothers. This is where he first came into contact with the world of wine, getting to know the different producers that were operating at that time. This experience was key to his decision, at the young age of 14, to become a winemaker. From that moment on, this goal was central to all the decisions he took about his life and studies. Despite his youth, he has gained substantial experience working in different international wineries in California and Australia, before returning to his home of Chile.
At De Martino, the winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention on single vineyards, including sustainable farming and traditional winemaking methods. Wines are crafted with native yeast, balanced in alcohol and moderate oak (when needed) to preserve the essence of the vineyards. De Martino is proud to be the first producer to bottle single-varietal Carménère in Chile, the first South American Carbon Neutral winery, Chilean Wine Producer of the Year in 2005 & 2009 by IWSC and Chilean Winery of the Year.
"This straw-coloured wine is aromatically complex with notes of ripe citrus fruit, fresh herbs and wet stones. In the mouth, it has a smooth, broad texture lent by the Sémillon, along with fruit intensity that is perfectly balanced with the firm acidity that refreshes the palate at all times." - Nicolás Peréz, Winemaker.
