"The 2022 Vinista hails from four vineyards, two planted on granite in Guarilihue and two on dark, sandy volcanic soils in 'ipas. It opens with a highly floral and slightly medicinal nose that introduces a soft, delicate palate with a higher degree of precision than typically associated with the variety. It concludes with a spry, powdery and perfumed finish. This is a dramatically overperforming and serious expression of País."

"Camphor, menthol, red berries and grapefruit with smoky mezcal character. Elegant, with light red berries and some dusty, rustic tannins on the palate. Drink now."

"A delicious and unworldly pais with cool, minty red berries. Peppermint, wild raspberries, cloves, dried tangerine peel and white pepper funk. Medium-bodied palate, linear in style, with lots of chalky, crumbled tannins. Elegant and intriguing finish. Drink now. 1200 cases made."

"The 2021 Vinista was produced with Pa¡s grapes from four ancient vineyards, two with volcanic soils in ¥ipas and two on granite from Guarilihue. The grapes fermented slowly with their natural yeasts with 100% full clusters, and the wine matured in oak and concrete vats for 11 months. There is something in common with the Hub here; it has a more evolved color and a more evolved nose, very much … la Rayas, with iron and blood, cherries in liqueur and brick dust. This comes from a warmer place but with more soil, half of it basalt, and the granite from ¥ipas is very different from the one from Guarilihue; here, there is fine quartz and lots of silt, which gives more ripeness and Italian tannins. This is outstanding. It's the finest Vinista to date. 18,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2021."
