Cinsault 'Itata', Dominio del Cuarzo 2020

Felipe Ramirez started Dominio del Cuarzo in 2019. He currently produces two wines from two small vineyards in Itata. The País is from Ñipas grown on basalt. The Cinsault is from Guarilihue grown on granite. Both vineyards consist of old bush vines that are farmed organically and without irrigation. Production is limited with quanities slowly increasing year over year.

Over the years, Felipe became close friends with Pedro Parra who has had an instrumental impact on his career. Pedro opened up his winery to Felipe for the first vintage of Dominio del Cuarzo. Today, Felipe's cellar is right next door to Pedro's.
