PINOT NOIR 2022 CHILE

September 2023 Red Wine of the Month
Pinot Noir is the 6th most planted wine grape in the world, mostly cultivated in France (Burgundy) and the United States. This variety grows well in climates with long, cool growing seasons. For this reason, the coastal area of Casablanca Valley in Chile has become one of the most successful areas in Chile for growing this elegant wine variety. Just 20 miles from the Pacific Ocean, the afternoon breezes cool down the mountains, helping create perfect growing conditions for the vineyards of the Casablanca Valley region.
