This new Tayú comes from a selection of four vineyards planted between 2015 and 2017, all in the Malleco zone. It was fermented in cement and stored in assorted oak, cement, and stainless containers. It's a pinot with firm tannins and tremendous strength on the palate, which is unusual in South American pinots, which always tend to soften the harsh nature of the variety. The aromas are earthy, floral, and fruity, and the finish is fresh and long. Give it a couple of years in the bottle because it needs to gain complexity. The Tayú 1865 is the wine that San Pedro makes in collaboration with the Mapuche community of Buchahueico in the town of Purén, at the foot of the Nahuelbuta Mountains in the Malleco Valley. The Mapuche never cultivated vines or fermented grapes - it's not part of their culture - so this project, which started in 2015, has been an experience of cultural syncretism, an encounter between two cultures. Score - 96. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2023) This new Tayú comes from a selection of four vineyards planted between 2015 and 2017, all in the Malleco zone.
