Review Date: 01/2025Winemaker Marcelo Papa has decided to base this Amelia on 80% from Block 15, a little over three hectares of limestone-rich soils with portions of clay and some stones, all in the Quebrada Seca Vineyard in the Limarí Valley, about 22 kilometers as the crow flies from the sea. There is a firm texture here, that chalky sensation that is very typical of those limestone soils. It also has that salinity typical of Limarí on calcareous soils and lots of fresh, tart red fruits in a lovely wine, delicious to drink by the liter in the summer. It is also a serious, complex wine for the cellar, and that dichotomy is its best value.

Vibrant red berries, cherries, rose hips and a touch of chalk on the nose. The excellent tannin structure holds the fruit back a bit, with a chalky texture and a lengthy finish. Fermentation was 50% whole cluster. (ZS)

Marcelo Papa is on a mission to produce one of Chile's outstanding Pinot Noirs and he's surely succeeded here for the second year in a row. Vibrantly chalky and refreshing, it's framed by scented, high-quality 10% new oak, fine-grained tannins, plenty of zip, focus and concentration and a macedoine of goji berry, raspberry and red cherry

The 2023 Pinot Noir Amelia includes up to 50% whole clusters. Focused aromas of raspberry, cherry and redcurrant are joined by notes of black tea and fresh red fruit. The palate is slender yet silky, with a fine grip from the stems and a delicate texture. This has elegance and clarity, with a clean, fruit-driven finish. This vintage refines the style, emphasizing precision and finesse. (JH)
