Echeverria, No Es Pituko! Three's A Crowd Red, 2022

Active in Chilean agriculture, grape growing, and winemaking since 1740, the Echeverria family established their current vineyards and winery in 1923 on the outskirts of Molina, a town in the Curicó Valley. Here, they grow grapes from French pre-phylloxera rootstocks on their 80-hectare vineyards. Originally established to produce bulk wines, in 1990, the winery was converted to produce quality wines for export. In the following years, Echeverria became one of the few boutique wineries to emerge from Chile and the first family winery from Chile to sell wine to Harrods in London. The winery's "No Es Pituko" line features their additive-free wines. These wines are wild-fermented with no additives, including no added sulfites, and are bottled unfiltered and unfined. The wine has an intense, deep purple color with herbal aromas and ripe red fruit notes. This low-intervention natural wine has soft tannins and a medium body. It is fresh and fruity, with flavors of blueberry, plum, and blackcurrant. We recommend serving this wine slightly chilled.
