More information on wine critics and ratings

The diversity of Chile’s landscapes is expressed in this series of wines from eight exceptional vineyards. A precise combination of climate, soil, grape variety and viticulture are combined with traditional, natural winemaking that respects the personality of each vineyard in order to produce unique wines that faithfully respect De Martino’s style.

Winemaking

The manually harvested grapes were 100% destemmed. A wild ferment in stainless steel was followed by 5 days’ post-fermentative maceration. The malolactic fermentation was completed in the tank. Then the wine was matured in 2,500-litre foudres for 24 months.

Tasting Note:
The wine reveals fresh aromas of blackcurrants and violets, together with complex notes of tobacco leaf, cedar and graphite. In the mouth, it is medium-bodied with intense, ripe fruit, balanced by elegant, fine tannins, vibrant acidity and moderate alcohol. It has depth and weight in the mouth, along with a long and persistent finish. This wine can be enjoyed while still youthful, but it has sufficient structure to develop greater complexity over the next 15-20 years.

The textbook 2018 Single Vineyard La Cancha is a serious Cabernet Sauvignon that matured in a 5,000-liter foudre and two barriques for 15 months. It's fresh, nuanced and complex and comes from a massal selection, which seems to provide depth and complexity. 6,828 bottles were filled in October 2019.

The second wine of Alcohuaz was named after the southern constellation of the Crane, the vessel of materialization between divinity and humanity. Grus owes its characteristics to grapes that come from single vineyards located at multiple altitudes throughout the Alcohuaz property.

John Duval Plexus White 2014
Attractive pale straw colour with aromas of stone fruits, dried apricot and subtle Asian spice. Medium-bodied with good texture and richness, it has a savoury finish which is well balanced with the fresh acidity. Flavours of nectarine, mandarin and pear linger after the last drop.
