Echeverria "No Es Pituko" Chardonnay 2023

Echeverria "No Es Pituko" Chardonnay 2023 is a captivating Chilean white wine that combines vibrant freshness with elegant complexity and delivers a delightful tasting experience that reflects the region's exceptional terroir. Farmed organically and fermentated with native yeasts -- no fining or filtration, no added sulfur -- this unoaked Chardonnay offers aromas and flavors of ripe apple and pear with hints of brioche, lifted by lively acidity.

The 2023 vintage presents a bright, pale golden hue and an aromatic bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, including lemon and grapefruit, mingled with hints of green apple and a touch of minerality. On the palate, "No Es Pituko" reveals a crisp and refreshing profile with flavors of zesty lemon, juicy pear, and subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak. The wine’s balanced acidity and smooth texture culminate in a clean, invigorating finish.

No Es Pituko is a project of the Echeverría family, who began growing grapes and other crops in Chile in the 1740s, and transitioned back into sustainable and natural winemaking in the 90's. They are located in the Valle de Curico; a fertile valley between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. 

Colloquially translated as “it ain’t fancy,” No Es Pituko wines are made simply, with minimal intervention, which allows their wines to reflect the character of the grapes.
