Chacra Cincuenta y Cinco, 2017

Chacra har opnået stor anerkendelse for særligt deres Pinot Noir vine gennem de seneste årtier, og denne sag er beviset på hvorfor. Det er druer fra gamle upodede vinstokke fra 1955, i et køligt og tørt klima. Håndhøst, naturlig gæring, forsigtig og begrænset ekstraktion, og endeligt egetræslagring (delvis nye fade).

Åhhh.. En dragende duft; på sensuel vis danser den lige ind og kilder de helt rigtige steder i næsen! Det er en skål fuld af skovbær og så en lettere parfumeret, sødlig tone på toppen. Smagen er så tilpas frugtig, og afstemt med den milde syre og den svævende lethed at det føles helt himmelsk.
Det er absurd så fantastisk det smager! Det er bare forbandet lækkert! Det må være min go-to Pinot Noir, når jeg skal have best value for money! Godt nok koster den nu 100kr mere end hvad den gjorde, men det rykker ikke det mindste på hvor godt et køb det er!

It is made from ungrafted vines planted in 1955, grown in Patagonia’s cool, dry climate. The grapes are hand-harvested, naturally fermented, gently extracted, and aged in oak barrels, with a portion matured in new oak.

Wow… The nose is utterly captivating. It glides in with remarkable elegance, teasing all the right senses. Think a bowl full of wild berries, topped with a delicate, slightly perfumed sweetness. On the palate, the fruit is beautifully balanced by vibrant yet gentle acidity and an almost weightless elegance that makes every sip feel effortless. It is simply heavenly. It’s almost absurd how delicious this wine is. Pure pleasure from start to finish. This has become my go-to Pinot Noir when I’m looking for outstanding value for money. Sure, it’s around $15 more expensive than it used to be, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still an incredible buy.
