Toro de Piedra Pinot Noir

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:Silky red-cherry perfume and a whisper of forest floor make Toro de Piedra Pinot Noir feel instantly comforting, like slipping into a favorite jacket on a cool evening. This is a Pinot Noir from Chile, and at 13.50% ABV it stays lively and graceful, with bright raspberry and cranberry, a touch of rose petal, and a savory, lightly earthy finish that begs for another sip. Made in the classic red-wine way with fermented Pinot Noir grapes and gentle aging to knit the flavors, it shines at the table, especially alongside Duck or Salmon, where the wine’s tart red fruit and subtle spice cut through richness without overpowering the dish.Producer Information: Viña RequinguaViña Requingua is a Chilean wine producer rooted in the Central Valley, with its center of gravity in the Curicó Valley where warm days and cool nights shape ripe, fruit-driven styles with clean acidity. Founded in the late 1960s as a family-led project, the winery grew from local vineyard holdings into a modern, export-minded house that still leans on estate fruit, careful site selection, and winemaking that privileges clarity of varietal character over heavy-handed embellishment. Its philosophy is built around matching each block to the grape that performs best there, then using controlled fermentations, measured oak, and blending precision to keep Cabernet Sauvignon, Carménère, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay expressive of place. Beyond its core ranges, the group also releases value-to-premium labels such as Toro de Piedra and Potro de Piedra, along with the Pegasus line, broadening its footprint across everyday Chilean varietals and more structured bottlings aimed at restaurant and retail shelves.
