Sabático is a blend from 100 year-old own-rooted vines that takes two varieties that are joined at the hip nearly everywhere they're found - Grenache and Carignan - and combines them in a series of used barrels, amphora and stainless steel to preserve freshness of the Grenache but smooth out the sometimes coarse finish of Carignan. Indigenous yeasts, minimal filtration and manipulation from dry-farmed vineyards in the new DO San Javier, nestled between the coastal range and the Andes mountains outside Santiago, resurrect a style of wine that more accurately reflects the traditions of the region than the mass-produced single-variety wine Chile has unfortunately become ubiquitous for. Ripe raspberries, pomegranate, herbs, and cracked pepper come across whether served at room temperature or chilled… or somewhere in between. Enjoy! #chillablered
