Revolution hit Chile - 89p

We’ve seen it happening around the world before. Brilliant new winemakers  transforming the country’s wine industry fundamentally. Countries known for low quality mass production - bulk wine - realize they have a much greater potential.
We saw it in Greece, South Africa, Argentina, Spain and even parts of Italy. A revolution. And they all did exactly the same. Scaled down production, focusing on native grape varieties and paid enormous attention to their terroir. Now this finally hit Chile. A country mainly known for low quality Cabernet Sauvignon.


Pedro Parra leads the wine revolution in Chile. A wine consultant with a PhD in terroir, who for real kicked off his wine mission in 2013 when he founded Pedro Parra y Familia. He focused on two grapes; Cinsault and Pais. And the terroir he chose was granite and slate. 
The wine region is named Itata and sits in the southernmost part of Chile. It’s extremely remote and this is part of what’s unique about this place. The total absence of industrial development has for centuries engaged the locals to run small parcels. The area has never seen artificial watering, industrial scale production or artificial pesticides of any kind. 
This has allowed for healthy and sustainable wine production for centuries. 
For his Cinsault wines Pedro especially loves what granite soil contributes with. He uses a mix of used oak barrels and concrete. Wines are always spontaneously fermented and mainly pressed for whole clusters.


Pedro has many wines and for this early autumn weekend we’ve chosen one of his excellent Cinsault wines. It’s reasonably priced and will be excellent with quite a few autumn dishes. Only 2076 bottles produced. Enjoy!
