The 2019 Baettig Los Primos Pinot Noir from D.O. Traiguén in Chile is a testament to Francisco Baettig's expertise in crafting exceptional Pinot Noir in the country's volcanic south. The name "Los Primos" (the cousins) refers to the closeness of style and quality of the vineyard parcels that make up this Pinot. The 2019 vintage experienced a cold spring and warm summer, delivering wines of great depth and complexity, with a dry and hot summer allowing grapes to advance in maturity, resulting in great concentration, aging potential, and fruit intensity. Tasting notes reveal a cherry red color with an elegant and complex nose of fresh red fruit like cherry, rosehip, and wild strawberry, subtle floral aromas of violet, lavender, and rose, and notes of orange peel and moist earth. On the palate, it is tense, linear, and deep, with juicy acidity and notes of pomegranate, graphite, and chalk, supported by firm yet extremely fine tannins. 【A New World Pinot Noir with Old World elegance and significant aging potential.】 🍴 Food Pairing: This complex Pinot Noir, with its vibrant fruit and earthy undertones, would be excellent with roasted pork loin, duck confit, grilled salmon, or earthy mushroom dishes. Its structure also allows it to stand up to lighter game. 🥂 Event Suggestions: Perfect for a dinner with friends who appreciate nuanced Pinot Noir, a wine tasting event focusing on New World expressions, or as a sophisticated accompaniment to a special meal. Its aging potential also makes it a great candidate for cellaring and future enjoyment.
