Tasting Notes
Baettig is the family project of winemaker Francisco "Pancho" Baettig (Errázuriz) and Carlos de Carlos in Traiguén, some 600 kilometers south of Chile. They planted 15.4 hectares of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir on volcanic soils in 2013.
Maule Valley was one of the first areas in Chile to be planted to vine, and its viticultural history stretches back to the start of colonisation by the Spanish. The region has long been one of Chile's most successful bulk-production wine districts, as evidenced by the large amount of Pais still found planted here.
This Selección de Parcelas was made with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Maule, in the appellation of Central Valley. Mauleis a land of wild forests, beautiful lakes, active volcanoes and abundant rain. The ancient volcanic soils of this area are composed of pyroclastic volcanic breccia of andesite lava, with clay/loam texture. The abundant rainfall throughout the year allows Baettig to practice a dry-farming viticulture.
