In the early 1900's, the landslide of one of the mountains of the Monte de Las Vueltas buried the vineyard. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver the last 100 years, the vines have unburied themselves, creating a unique viticultural landscape; a sign of an heroic viticulture. \u003c\/span\u003eMaipe was fermented with native yeasts in concrete, and was aged for five months in French oak barrels. The concept was to respect the traditional ancient method of the area using modern winemaking elements such as concrete tanks. Historically, the wines from Taganana have always had a golden hue due to the oxidation that happens when a wine is made in a porous environment, like concrete and wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth on the nose and the palate, the wine shows a special complexity. On the nose, it is reminiscent of a warm and dry summer vintage, with aromas of orange peel, thyme, fennel, honeysuckle and sous-bois. On the palate it is dense and ample, due to the ageing over its lees, with no stirring. Maipe has tension, structure and balance on the palate thanks to its natural acidity. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viñátigo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43411732136154,"sku":"493824-1","price":383.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0420\/7922\/3966\/products\/Vinatigo_1_ee6a1ef3-c156-4143-973b-929d567dafd7.png?v=1669130313","url":"https:\/\/www.npwines.com\/products\/vinatigo-maipe","provider":"Nicholas Pearce Wines Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
