CoPa Semillion
CoPa Semillon, Valle de Itata 2023
COPA RIO ITATA, CHILE
PRODUCTION
This 100% Semillón is sourced from small 120 years old vineyard located in Güarilihue, Itata Valley.
The vines are bush trained, dry farmed and no rootstock. The soil profile is granite rock with moderate
amounts of quartz. Grapes are hand harvest in small boxes of 15 kg. The grapes were destemmed and
gently pressed over six hours, with the juice then settled in a stainless steel tank. After 24 hours of
decanting, the must and selected lees were transferred to 300 and 500 litre French oak barrels for
fermentation. The Semillón was aged for thirteen months in both new and used French oak, and then
bottled and rested for six months before release.
TASTING NOTE
A wide range of aromas, such as honey, peach, green herbs, dried fruit and gunpowder. It is a
structured Semilón, medium bodied with mineral and a saline touch on the palate. A balanced and
complex wine with a long and elegant finish.
FOOD MATCH
