"The 2018 Pencopolitano is a regional red blend of 67% Cinsault de Guarilihue and 33% País de Portezuelo from old vines (40 to 200 years old) on granitic soils rich in lime, sand and quartz. It was fermented with 30% whole bunches and aged in 2500-liter oak tuns, 5000-liter oak vats and 3000-liter concrete vats for 10 to 11 months. It's a wine with more structure and fruit, a round mouthfeel and a frank personality that's easier to understand." (Wine Advocate 2020)

A majority of Cinsault, which is not easy to vinify. Very good.
