Imaginador Cinsault 2021

Pedro Parra ist einer der besten Bodenkundler der Weinwelt. Er reist als Koryphäe in alle berühmten Appellationen, hat aber inzwischen sein eigenes Weingut und nutzt alte Reben auf besten Böden in kühlen Lagen, um absolut eigenständige, grossartige Weine wie den ‚Imaginador‘ zu erzeugen.

The 2021 Imaginador was produced with Cinsault from five vineyards on granite soils in Guarilihue. It fermented with 100% full clusters and indigenous yeasts at low temperatures for 15 days, with 12 days of maceration, and matured in oak and concrete vats for 11 months. The first thing that came to my mind when I put my nose in the glass was "Bruja de Rozas!," the entry-level wine from Comando G! It's a blend of the leftovers from the other Cinsault wines, perfumed, floral, aromatic, expressive, where Parra looks for finesse (and he got it!). They are all pale, there's no extraction, no pigeage, no remontage, only the cap gets wet, and the result is stunning. The palate is light to medium-bodied, the tannins are super fine and the wine is ethereal, elegant, tasty and long, clean and pure. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

A delicious and tangy cinsault full of wild raspberries, strawberries, flowers and a white sesame note. Chalky tannins are fully dissolved on the ethereal, medium-bodied palate with a nimble, peppery finish. Full of energy, finesse and drinkability here. Enjoy now. 100% whole clusters.
