Petit Verdot- Chaski 2021
Planted in the bed of the Inca River, our Petit Verdot vineyards develop in an environment surrounded by large stones and soils with low water retention capacity. These poor and stony soil conditions contribute to appeasing the powerful and robust tannins characteristic of this variety. It is the delicacy of Chaski's vinification, together with its 16 months of aging in French barrels, that manages to soften this 100% Petit Verdot wine and bring it to a delicate balance between intensity and silkiness. Complemented by aromas of red fruits, spices, floral notes and a touch of graphite, they manage to give complexity to achieve an elegant and long finish.

TASTING NOTES
Chaski presents a deep purple color with violet reflections, this great concentration of color denotes great intensity. The aromas of ripe black fruits predominate on the nose; there are also spicy nuances such as black pepper, notes of graphite and floral notes such as violets and lavender that enrich its profile. In the mouth, this wine has an energetic and elegant body, the tannins are intensely present, but well integrated, showing a balanced structure. With a balanced and persistent finish.

seasoning and mature cheeses enhance and help balance its intense tannins. Asian cuisine is an excellent pairing, sweet and sour pork or duck dishes, foods with intense flavors and spicy sauces.
