The Pencopolitano 2018 is a regional red blend of 67% Cinsault from Guarilihue and 33% País from Portezuelo, made from old vines (40 to 200 years old) grown on granite soils rich in lime, sand, and quartz. It was fermented with 30% whole clusters and aged in 2,500-liter oak casks, 5,000-liter oak vats, and 3,000-liter concrete vats for 10 to 11 months. This is a wine with more structure and fruit, a round palate, and an honest personality that is easier to understand." (Wine Advocate 2020)
