Novas Gran Reserva Pinot Noir, DO Valle Casablanca, Organic

Bottle notes

Elegant and refreshing cool climate Pinot Noir from Emiliana's organic estate in Casablanca.

The Casablanca Valley is influenced by its proximity to the Pacific Ocean and its coastal breezes that moderate temperatures. The area ranges from soft rolling hills to higher hills toward the Coastal Mountain range in the east. Temperatures are much cooler here, allowing the grapes to ripen very slowly to produce rich flavoured wines. The grapes are mechanically harvested. After reception and destemming, they undergo a cool pre-fermentation maceration for 3 days at 8ºC. Alcoholic fermentation occurs naturally with both native and commercial yeasts. Temperatures are maintained at 22–24ºC with a program of gentle pump overs. Postfermentation maceration takes place over 2–3 days and malolactic fermentation occurs spontaneously in stainless steel tanks, barrels, and foudres, where the wine is then aged for 6 months (68% in French oak barrels, 11% in French oak foudres and 21% in stainless steel tanks). 

Tasting notes

Aromatics of fresh ripe raspberries, some subtle spice notes. The palate shows a delicious ripe summer fruit flavours and is perfectly balanced by soft tannins, refreshing acidity with a morish finish. 

Food match

The perfect partner for mushroom-parmesan risotto, seared tuna and hard cheese.
