Concha y Toro Amelia Pinot Noir - 2021 (750ml)
The 2021 Amelia Pinot Noir by Concha y Toro is a highly-rated, elegant Chilean red wine from the Limarà Valley, known for its minerality, fresh red fruit notes, and fine, chalky tannins.
"A very floral expression of pinot with lavender, chalk and ashes to the red cherries and red berries. Plenty of red fruit on the palate with some fine, chalky tannins and a saline, mineral finish. Around 40% whole bunches. 15% new oak barrels and others are second- or third-use. Marcelo Papa says they are reducing the amount the new oak." - James Suckling

The varietal 2021 Amelia Pinot Noir was produced with grapes from Quebrada Seca in Limarà on colluvial soils with limestone. It fermented with around 40% full clusters (this has grown) in open-top vats and matured in Burgundy oak barrels, 18% of them new, for one year. It has 13.9% alcohol and a pH of 3.7. 2021 was a cooler year, and the wine shows it, even if the coastal part of Limarà cushions the effect of the warmer years (like 2020, which was a lot less warm here than in inland parts of Chile; I retasted the 2020 to check the evolution, which is great). It's crunchy and has the nervosity from the stems, floral, perfumed and elegant. It is textured and fresh, varietal, bright and young. 13,200 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2022. - Luis Gutiérrez
