Vintage 2022
750 ML
HK$458.00
Score: JS98
Pure mineral notes but a lot of depth here, with flinty oyster shells, crushed rock, lemon zest and a hint of cream. Broad but pure on the palate, driven by a bright streak of saline acidity. Really gastronomic and serious, with a full body but mineral water-like purity at the end. Another sensational Los Primos. According to winemaker Francisco Baettig, 2022 is moderately cool in Traiguén. A small production due to the frost. Picked around April 10. Thirteen months’ aging in 300- to 400-liter barrels, of which 37% is new.

Francisco Baettig, probably South America’s greatest winemaker, is responsible for making all the premium wines for Eduardo Chadwick and Errazuriz, including Sena, Don Maximiano, Vinedo Chadwick and Las Pizarras. Vinos Baettig is his new project. The Baettig wines are very small production Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cooler climate Southern Chile region of Malleco. The style is similar in approach and quality to the Las Pizarras wines also made by Baettig in Aconcagua Costa.Vinos Baettig has been included among the Top 100 Wine Discoveries 2020 by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. “Francisco ‘Pancho’ Baettig is one of the finest winemakers in Chile and responsible for some of the best wines in the country. His own personal project focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Malleco in the south, where his grandparents arrived from Switzerland. The wine is produced in an artisanal and manual way from one of the cooler terroirs in Chile. Vibrant, precise and symmetric.” Wine Advocate, Top 100 Wine Discoveries 2020 |
