Winemaking Notes: This 100% biodynamic, hand-harvested, single vineyard Pinot Noir is aged and fermented completely in concrete eggs with indigenous yeast. There is no fining or filtering.

Tasting Notes: Dark ripe cherry and black fruits jump out of the glass with underlying raspberry fruit notes. A condensed and dark spiraling mid-palate shows layers of minerality and complexity, with hints of wet crushed rock (granite), sage, clove and blueberry. It is a rich Pinot Noir with full fruit and a long, generous, smooth finish.

    Montsecano, this 100% Pinot Noir from the Las Dichas area, in the coolest end of Casablanca, has achieved a round, friendly, generous wine in a warm vintage like 2020, whose results have been inconsistent in general. This has notes of dried flowers and candied fruits, and in the mouth, the tannins do their part, providing tension in a mature and generous wine.
