Product Notes

The De Martino Viejas Tinajas Muscat is a complex and sophisticated Chilean muscat wine. It offers a hypnotic aroma of sweet peaches, violets and delicate honeysuckle mingled with a hint of herbs. This organic, naturally-produced gem breaks from traditional wine-making methods. The grapes are fermented in century-old clay pots, adding an earthy complexity to its profile. Displaying impeccable balance between acidity and sweetness, this elixir is described as crisp, lusciously juicy and filled with exotic citrus. This Muscat wine truly provides a uniquely rustic and authentic drinking experience. Notably, it is also vegan friendly.

Tasting Notes

This wine is aromatic and intense with great volume in the mouth and achieves a balance between the fresh acidity and the texture contributed by 6 months’ maceration with the skins. Vinification in amphorae contributes rich texture to the palate and results in a wine with tension, volume and smoothness. Ageing potential of around 10 years.
