Cacique Maravilla Gutiflower Frizante 2017

Tasting Notes

A field blend of the family's white varietals. On skins for a day in open raulí then foot stomped, juice gravity fed into a tightly sealed ecotank where it went through primary ferment. Two months later the wine was bottled with some residual sugar, it's light frizzante style. No fining or filtration and zero SO2. Sparking wine is untraditional in Chile, Manuel's late father accidentally stumbled upon this technique. Guti is made every year, Manuel picks for acidity but not every growing season is warm enough for there to be residual sugar at bottling. 2014 was a very balanced year, 2015 and 2016 much cooler, we don't know when this wine will be back! - Importer Note
