Novas Gran Reserva Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley ORGANIC

Elegant and refreshing cool-climate Pinot. Pale ruby red in colour with a lifted nose of raspberry,blackcurrant fruit and a gentle cranberry grip with gentle spice notes from barrel aging. The palate shows delicious ripe summer fruit character and is perfectly balanced by soft tannins and refreshing acidity. It has a long and elegant finish. 70% of the wine is aged for 6 months in French oak barrels, lending spice and cocoa notes. The Casablanca Valley is influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its coastal breezes that moderate temperatures. The area ranges from soft rolling hills to higher hills toward the Coastal Mountain range in the east. The poor, sandy loam soils are alluvial in origin, relativelyshallow and very permeable, resulting in yields which are generally low in comparison with other Chilean valleys.
