{"product_id":"de-alcohuaz-grus-chili","title":"De Alcohuaz - GRUS - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eNestled in the upper Elqui Valley, in the heart of the Andean village of Alcohuaz, the GRUS cuvée vineyard spans granitic slopes situated between 1,700 and 2,200 meters above sea level. This extreme terroir in northern Chile benefits from intense sunshine, cool nights, and a dry climate, promoting a slow and complete ripening of the grapes. The vines are cultivated with sustainable practices on terraced plots that dominate the mineral landscape of the Cordillera, imbuing the wine with a fresh, precise identity profoundly shaped by the mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for the GRUS cuvée are hand-harvested into small crates, then carefully sorted before being gravity-fed into tanks. Fermentation takes place in concrete vats with indigenous yeasts, favoring gentle extractions through moderate pump-overs and punch-downs. The wine is then aged in concrete vats and large wooden foudres to preserve the purity of the fruit and the mineral expression of the high-altitude terroir, without excessive oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe black fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecrunchy red fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eviolet\u003c\/strong\u003e, enhanced by touches of \u003cstrong\u003esweet spices\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epepper\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003edried herbs\u003c\/strong\u003e, on a delicately \u003cstrong\u003esmoky\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e background.
