Wine Description:
Roberto Henriquez's "Tierra de Pumas" is a remarkable wine that embodies the essence of its terroir in the Bio Bio region of Chile. Produced by Roberto Henríquez, who honed his craft studying agronomy and enology at the University of Concepción, this wine is a testament to his dedication to organic and biodynamic farming practices. The vineyard, situated 2 kilometers inland from the Bío Bío River, boasts granitic soil with origins in the volcanic activity of the Cordillera de Nahuelbuta, also known as "Cougar's Land." The wine, crafted from 100% País grapes from 200-year-old vines, exudes a complex, fruity, and meaty character. Roberto's winemaking journey, which includes stints in Canada, South Africa, and the Loire Valley under the tutelage of Rene Mosse, underscores his commitment to producing wines of exceptional purity and quality. "Tierra de Pumas" represents a growing movement of vignerons in the Itata and Bio Bio regions, crafting wines with a profound sense of place and a commitment to sustainable agriculture.

Wine Expert Note:

This Chilean red blend from Roberto Henriquez is a complex and concentrated expression of the terroir of the Tierra de Pumas region. The nose has aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and spices that lead into a palate filled with black currants, dried herbs, and a hint of dark chocolate. The tannins are firm yet balanced, and the finish is long and persistent. A pleasing and well-structured wine to enjoy now or cellar for further development.
