Viña Echeverría No es Pituko Cabernet Franc

'No es Pituko' is Chilean slang for 'it ain't fancy' reflecting the fact that this wine was vinified naturally, without any additions at any stage. The Cabernet Franc grapes for this wine come are sourced from a single vineyard located in the Curicó Valley. The 20 year old, un-grafted vines are cultivated according to sustainable agricultural methods in order to respect the land and its environment. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks the wine rested on its lees for three months without any influence of oak to showcase the purity of fruit. With an intense, vibrant cherry colour, the slightly cloudy appearance is due to the natural vinification. Lively aromas of black cherry and fresh plum lead to a fresh palate with silky tannins and a luscious floral note on the finish.
