Four important geographic bodies surround the Chilean wine growing region: the Andes Mountains to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Atacama Desert –the driest on Earth– to the north and ancient glaciers to the south. These natural barriers essentially isolate Chile and have protected our vineyards for centuries. Other determining factors, such as abundant luminosity, significant daily temperature variation, dry weather during ripening season and fresh Andean irrigation water, contribute to the production of pure and wholesome grapes. In a bid to express the country’s extraordinary diversity Villaseñor winery presents this wine.

Pairing: Pinot Noir is a natural choice for some of the latest culinary trends, which goes well with this wine’s versatility.
