Moscatel - 2023

Active in Chilean agriculture, grape growing, and winemaking since 1740, the Echeverria family established their current vineyards and winery in 1923 on the outskirts of Molina, a town in the Curicó Valley. Here, they grow grapes from French pre-phylloxera rootstocks on their 80-hectare vineyards. Originally established to produce bulk wines, the winery converted to producing quality wines for export in 1990. In the following years, Echeverria emerged as one of the few boutique wineries from Chile and became the first family winery from Chile to sell wine to Harrods in London. The winery's No Es Pituko line features their additive-free wines. These wines are wild-fermented with no additives, including no added sulfites, and are bottled unfiltered and unfined. This natural wine has a pale yellow, slightly cloudy appearance due to being unfiltered. On the nose, it presents strong floral aromas of jasmine and orange blossom. The palate offers citrus notes of lime and grapefruit, with a rich texture and refreshing finish.
