Wine Description:
Clos des Fous Pour Ma Gueule (Assemblage Itata) is a unique and complex wine produced by Clos des Fous, a renowned Chilean winery. The grapes are sourced from the Itata Valley, an appellation known for its old vines and granite soils. The vineyard features dry-farmed, bush-trained vines that are over 60 years old, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors. The winemaking process involves a blend of traditional and modern techniques, including whole-cluster fermentation and aging in concrete eggs. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied red with a vibrant acidity and a complex flavor profile of red fruit, herbs, and earthy notes. It is a perfect representation of the terroir and the winemaker's philosophy of minimal intervention.
Pros:
  • This wine from the Assemblage Itata region has a very complex flavor profile, with notes of dark berry, spice, and earthy tones. The tannins are well-balanced and provide a nice structure to the wine
