Roberto Henriquez 2020 Rivera del Notro 750ml

The white blend 2020 Ribera del Notro Blanco was produced with equal parts of Moscatel, Chasselas/Corinto and Semillon grapes from Itata on granite soils and fermented with indigenous yeasts. The Moscatel and Semillon had contact with the skins during the fermentation, and the Corinto/Chasselas had a much longer skin contact of eight months. It's complex, meaty and savory (chicken broth, green chilies), and I cannot say it has much varietal character but rather the granular austerity from the granite soils. It's light, balanced and tasty at 12% alcohol and finishes dry.
