Notes from the Winemaker:
The inimitable Viña El Pison produces a wine which is a reflection of the competence of our ancestors and the passion of those who want to keep the spirit of a vineyard alive.
The delicate balance between all of the natural agents that comprise this unique environment produces a wine that is full of subtle minerality, fine fruit, both complex and delicate seasoned nuances and tannins that have enveloping and caressing volumes. This is a wine with surprising expressivity; a wine with a natural elegance that provokes deep and changing feelings.
Ratings & Reviews
"I had a glorious bottle of the 2009 Viña El Pisón, a wine I had not drunk for a while, and I thought it was worth sharing the experience because we do not provide enough notes of mature wines that people might drink. The wine is powerful and from a different winemaking era, and it shows it. But with the wines from great terroirs, despite what you do to them, after a decade, the terroir shows. And it does here. The wine is full-bodied and has reminiscences of an élevage in generous new oak, but time has polished the tannins and has blended the flavors of black fruit and spices with earthy notes and makes the wine come through as nicely balanced; there is harmony and complexity. This is in no danger of falling apart anytime soon and should continue developing in bottle for a while. 2022-2032." - LG (12/30/21)
