The journalist and winemaker responsible for tasting Chilean and Argentinean wines for Vinous, one of the most prestigious specialized magazines in the world, visited the winery in early March as research for his upcoming report on Chilean wines, which will give special attention to Colchagua.
His visit started with a full tour of the Caliterra vineyards, followed by a special tasting at the Maiten lookout point, located at the foot of the plots where the grapes used in the Petreo line are grown.
The expert had the chance to taste the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 vintages of the Tributo wines, Pétreo Carmenere and Malbec 2021, ending with the emblematic Cenit, 2019 vintage, Caliterra’s iconic wine that ages for 24 months in French oak barrels to reach its maximum elegance and complexity. The tasting was led by Chief Winemaker Alberto Eckholt and Viticulturist Carlos Oyarzún.
To end his visit, Joaquin was able to enjoy a nice outdoor lunch overlooking the vineyards, which included dishes made from fresh, local ingredients.
