WINE DESCRIPTION
El Viejo del Valle Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by a renowned winery in Chile's Central Valley. The appellation is known for its cool climate, which allows for slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in a wine with delicate flavors and aromas. The vineyard features well-draining soils and is situated at an altitude that provides optimal sun exposure. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and complex, with notes of red fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and hearty stews.
