Montsecano 'Refugio' Pinot Noir 2020

Pinot Noir from a small vineyard planted in 2006 by Julio Donoso and Andre Ostertag on a steep, four hectare plot. It’s farmed Biodynamically and plowed with a horse; the wine is fermented in an egg-shaped, geothermal cellar in a combination of concrete egg and concrete tank. Smoky umami, raspberry, and a little reduction on the nose is matched with silky, elegant richness on the palate. Herbal overtones and a luxurious, lingering finish make this another impressive addition to the huge range of excellent wines coming out of Chile right now. Jonathan Kemp
