Garage Wine Co. Isidore Vineyard Lot F3 Dry Farmed Old Vines Semillon 2020

Description

This semillon comes from an old vineyard of about a hectare planted about 65 years ago on decomposed granite (maicillo, as it's known in Chile) in the Sauzal zone, in the heart of the dry-farmed secano in Maule. The wine is fermented in amphorae and then aged in those same vessels and in used barrels for a year. Be patient, because this white takes time to reveal its aromas in the glass, but when it does, the herbal aromas and honey tones steal the show. The palate is succulent, although moderated by tense and linear acidity at the same time. One of those whites that you'll want to open in 10 years or more. Score - 93.
