Pinot Noir Las Pizarras, Viña Errazuriz 2021

The nose of the 2021 Las Pizarras Pinot Noir is clean, floral, expressive and elegant, with purity and precision. This is clean and less earthy, with very fine tannins and full development of aromas and flavors. The grapes ripened slowly, and they developed more nuance; but the main difference can be in quality of the tannins, which are really velvety here. It has amazing freshness, reflected by a pH of 3.43. It's linear and vertical. They used a smaller percentage of full clusters in the native fermentation, 10%, and the wine matured in French oak barrels, 45% of them new, for 12 months. Superb, very elegant. 7,900 bottles were filled in June 2022.

‘Exotic flowers, lavender and spices jump out from the glass with wild red and blue berries. Fresh goji berries, tile and mineral. Pure, juicy and tight on the palate with very chalky tannins. Mineral tension. Drink or hold.’
