Limited Time Offers
Clos des Fous focuses on cooler climate zones in southern Chile searching for cold, clouds, rain, and old vines. This is the land of gnarly old vines (País, Muscat or sporadic pockets of Carignan and Cinsault among others) and is the heart of Chile's colonial winemaking past.

Wine Advocate, April 2023
They have removed the Cariñena from the blend of the 2021 and therefore turned the 2021 Pour Ma Gueule Itata into a pure Itata wine produced with País and Cinsault from Guarilihue. It remains a gulpable and easy-to-drink red with 13.1% alcohol and a medium-bodied palate, balanced and clean. It was bottled after nine to 12 months in concrete with lees.

Wine Advocate, August 2021
The red blend 2017 Cauquenina is approximately of 40% Carignan, 30% País, 20% Cinsault and 10% Carmenere, quite different from previous years and higher in Carignan and with a notable percentage of Cinsault. It fermented at low temperature and matured in concrete and 5,000-liter oak foudre for six months. There is a little more rusticity here, perhaps the higher percentage of Cariñena this year. There is also a smoky and spicy note reminiscent of the Chilean spice mix called merkén, with some notes of graphite too. It's medium-bodied and has some dusty tannins. |

Fresh & precise Pinot for Burgundy lovers. Subtle cherry pit fruit and plenty of earthy tones in perfect balance, we could drink this all day. Savory nose of green peppercorn, autumn leaves, wet slate, and forest floor. Very pretty pale color is deceptive, as this falls closer to medium bodied for Pinot. Strawberry seeds, mushroom, and graphite on the palate.
