Reviewed February 2024Violets, black cherries, raspberries, crushed stone and orange blossoms. Notes of flower stems, dried sand and bark. Medium- to full-bodied with layers of fine tannins that fill the mouth, giving a crunchiness and open chewiness that reminds me of fine cashmere. Bright and lively. At the end it’s like a freshly cut orange just at the right ripeness. Drink or hold.

Decanter
Coming from Chacra’s oldest block of vines, planted in 1932, you might expect this to be the most concentrated wine, but it is actually the ballerina of the portfolio – strong but elegant, uplifting yet poised. A boney, chalky minerality underpins the wine, while heady notes of violets, crushed raspberries and tart cranberries linger above. There’s great depth, although it floats to its seemingly effortless finish. (AB)
Notes
Chacra Treinta y Dos is a single vineyard wine, made from old vineyards planted in 1932 on a land layered with clay, sand and pebbles. The most structured of all Chacra’s wines, Chacra Treinta y Dos is meant to be aged. Its soft characteristics and velvety tannins, however, make it drinkable at a younger age. 45% of this wine is aged for 19 months in concrete tanks, and the remaining 55% is aged in 2nd, 3rd and 4th use French oak barrels.
