Parellon is made with grapes from some of the oldest Sémillon vineyards in Chile, dating back to 1928, located in Paredones, Colchagua Costa. A deep-yellow wine that tastes deliciously fresh, showing acacia flowers and mandarin zest notes, seasoned with spices. Its aromatic complexity is further enhanced by 4.5 months of skin contact, which also gives the wine some frame.
"Intense yellow colour with hints of orange. The nose bursts with fresh acacia flowers and mandarin zest notes, seasoned with spices. Highly mineral with a well-balanced structure, being remarkably fresh, with a tannin bite thanks to ‘skin contact’."
Jose Ignacio Maturana and his family started the production of unique wines that they hoped would display a sense of place and that represent a way of life. Together they created Maturana Wines, a project based on vines of more than 70 years old, which are worked completely by hand and following organic principles.
The quality and availability of Chilean wines have flourished in the last twenty years. While wine consumers worldwide enjoy the easy-drinking charm of Chile’s inexpensive fruity wines, Chile’s wine producers have higher aspirations too, to make stylish, complex wines expressive of their unique origins, wines with a tangible ‘sense of place’, a notion the Europeans call terroir.
