Tasting notes on the wine: 

“I think you’ll find notes of peach, white flowers, and tropical fruits; plus a palate that is clean with a slight creaminess due to some malolactic fermentation. It does not see any oak, so it’s just a pure expression of this Rhone variety shining in Chile. Pairs well with Chinese duck with a side of seasonal vegetables.” — Pedro J. Rodriguez

About the winemaker: 

“In Chilean slang No es Pituko means ‘it ain't fancy,’ meaning this viognier is terroir-driven and as raw and un-precious as it can get. Viognier is a misunderstood variety in many parts of the world but I love it — a true aromatic variety that will really grow on you. This expression of viognier comes from alluvial soils with plenty of sunshine throughout the growing season and cooling effect at night.” — Pedro J. Rodriguez
