Reta Romelio Mezcla Tinta Valle del Limari 2020 750 ML

Marcelo Retamal is one of Chile's most influential winemakers, he worked at De Martino for over 20 years, driving quality and a move towards terroir focussed wines. He is a partner and head winemaker at Vinedos de Alcohuaz, a high altitude project in the Elqui Valley. In 2019, he had the idea for a personal project - RETA - working with his wife and three daughters, and a selection of the best plots he has discovered during his career as a winemaker. The grapes from all the sites - Quebrada Chalinga and Quebrada Seca in the Limarí Valley; and Romelio at the north of the Maule Valley - are picked early to keep moderate alcohol and ripeness, maintaining freshness, and have a gentle elevage in neutral oak. The aim is to produce wines that represent the place they come from. This project represents a culmination of years of making wine from hundreds of different parcels and places across Chile, plus the experience of travelling and tasting wine around the world. Marcelo says: "All the work I’ve done over the past 24 years concludes with these 3 wines,”, and we're delighted to bring them into the UK.
