Controversial French winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt delivers a #pais wine from 100+ year-old vines from Cauquenes in the Maule Valley. Funky and reduced after uncorked, a much-needed aeration (in a water jug, mind you) brought to life a juicy, tense and extremely refreshing wine. The liquid was totally opaque, bringing a new meaning to the words "unfiltered & unfined". I remember a couple of years ago having a heated debate with another Frenchman who was making a documentary about Luyt who told me how wines like this battle against the homogenisation of flavours. Not for everyone. You can find it with Louis/Dressner if in the USA. — 9 years ago

Очень легкое вино, масса малины, леденцы, жвачка, очень легкий, яркий. Вкус слегка резиновый, плотные танины, легкое летнее вино к сырам и закускам.

The maker of this wine worked for Antoine Luyt, and he's in the same region, Caquenes. Still a naturally made wine, this is more approachable and food-friendly but a bit more tannic than the Luyt I had yesterday. And much less funky. But the 14% alcohol is potent and doesn't work as well. 6 grape blend including #pais. Great steak wine though. Good thing I had steak with it. Very enjoyable. — 8 years ago

Леденцово-малиново-перечный аромат, белый, ароматный перец. Сладковато-цветочные тона. Тело средней плотности, вкус леденцово-перченый, необычный. Достаточно сухие танины, выраженная кислотность. Очень своеобразно.
