Laberinto - Pais 'Arcillas' D.O. Colbum 750ml 2021 (13.0% abv)

Laberinto is a small gravity fed winery owned by Rafael Tirado and his family in Colbun, by a lake, in an eastern mountainous region of the Maule Valley. He began to plant vines in 1993 and now cultivates 5 separate sections totaling 18ha of vineyards within their 80ha property. The soils are composed of granite and volcanic ash, and his vineyards are located at approximately 1800 feet altitude. He planted on the slopes in multiple row orientations, eventually planting a section as a labyrinth (laberinto), hence the name of the wines and the drawings on the labels. Laberinto has a half-hectare (1.24 acres!) of país planted some 30 years ago beside Lago Colbún, from which it obtains this juicy wine with fruity notes.

This wine was fermented in concrete and amphorae, where it remained for about eight months before
