The Echeverría family came to Chile in the 1750s, from a little town called Amezqueta in the Basque region of Spain. They established agricultural crops and planted vines. Today the company is a global enterprise. Echeverria has always been at the forefront of the modern Chilean wine industry while honouring tradition and respecting the environment. This tradition is expressed through their wines which are classic and elegant in style and showcase intense fruit aromas and flavours which are the hallmarks of Chilean wine thanks to the country’s privileged terroir and climatic conditions. Echeverria has an extensive portfolio of over 30 wines from over 10 different grape varieties and several wine growing regions.
Roberto Echeverría Jr has been the Chief Winemaker at Viña Echeverría since 2001. Inspired by his French heritage, Roberto’s signature style produces wines with a combination of Old World elegance and New World energy. More European viticultural techniques include timely harvesting to avoid over ripeness and therefore good balance and control of alcohol levels. Focus is on French varietals, barrels and yeasts, as well as longer fermentation and aging in barrels and diverse blending.
Tasting Notes
Intense purple in colour, this young Syrah has a lively, yet elegant nose, with fresh cherry and plum aromas, and notes of black pepper. In the mouth it is fresh, with soft tannins, and its medium body is well balanced. It has a bright, and persistently fruity finish due to it refreshing acidity. Try to match this wine’s fruity, robust character with strong flavours. The tannins help cut through animal fat. Grilled or roast lamb with roasted vegetables, especially aubergine and mushroom. Barbecued or cured meats, ciabatta with caponata.
Method
The Syrah grapes were hand-picked in 18 Kg. boxes and carried to the winery immediately after where they were carefully selected before processing. Fermented in 15.000 and 25,000 liter stainless steel tanks for 7-10 days at 25-28°C controlled temperature to dryness with selected yeasts. 100% malolactic fermentation. Aged in 225 liter French used oak barrels for about 4-5 months then stored in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until bottling.
