Viña Echeverria 'GCM Coast' 2021
The Viña Echeverria 'GCM Coast' is a unique, natural red wine blend of Mourvèdre (45%), Carignan (40%), Garnacha (10%) and Syrah (5%) grapes. The fruit comes from a combination of vineyards located in the Valle de Maule and the Valle de Colchagua regions of Chile. At the winery the wine was vinified naturally, without any additions at any stage. Each variety was vinified separately, with fermentation taking place with wild, native yeasts. An extended skin-contact maceration lasted for 10 days, to extract colour, aromas and flavours and the wine underwent malolactic conversion to soften the texture. The wine was aged for 18 months in French Burgundy barrels, of which 25% were new oak. GCM Coast displays enticing aromas of forest fruits, cherry, raspberry and mulberry, laced with vanilla and tobacco nuances through to a rounded palate with a fine tannin structure and a persistent fruity finish.
