Based in the Maule Valley, Chilensis, the word itself means Chilean or coming from Chile, aromas of berry fruit and spice. On the palate cherry with a jolt of spice and vivid acidity. Very drying tannins, short finish, not for me, pass. Tasting Sample!

Tei Tei. Great wine for the price tag. Red fruit aromas and subtle floral notes

Ripe bing cherry attack layered over loamy soil and road tar notes on a short but savory finish.

Gets my vote for bargain of the century. This light-colored Pinot has a complex nose of earth, black cherry, blueberry, cedar, and cigar box with more if the same on the palate. So not a fruit bomb and quite delicious. Better than many Willamette Pinots.
