About The Wine
The wines of Leonardo Erazo aim to preserve the traditions of the historic Itata wine producers in the south of Chile.
This is a blend of old vine Muscatel (Muscat) and Semillon grown on the granite soils which Leonardo loves so much.
In accordance of the winemaking practices of old, Leonardo employs a touch of skin contact which takes this to a new textural dimension, with the smoky, slatey characters of the terroir complimented by the intense aromatics and uber fine acidity that is natural to these varieties.
It's a fun, energetic white and fascinating to drink.
About A Los Viñateros Bravos
A Los Viñateros Bravos translates to 'To The Brave Vignerons', a tip of the cap to the valiant grape-growers who have kept the Chilean wine scene thriving for almost five centuries.
Leonardo Erazo is one of the leading figures in the avant-garde of Chilean wine. In 2019, he was named in the Top 10 Best Winemakers of South America by Decanter magazine. With degrees in both in Agronomy and Enology, Leonardo combines modern precision and cleanliness with ancient winemaking techniques to get the very best out of his dry-grown vineyards in the Itata Valley.
This man is obsessed with the unique soils of Chile. He believes that by making wine with minimal intervention, that the true character of each site - with all its smoky, crushed-rock minerality, is able to shine through.
