Chile
Region:Maipo Valley
For years Virgin Wines customers have loved the Perez Cruz wines, packed with intense dark berry fruits and lots of oak. And thanks to the great relationship that we have with winemaker Germán Lyon, he has given us a rare opportunity to get hold of this brand new wine - which is something a bit left field of their usual style. This Grenache has all the signature opulence you'd come to expect from a Perez Cruz red but it is dripping in red cherry and raspberry fruit with a hint of cracked pepper - and crucially there is no oak contact on this wine, making it incredibly juicy and pure. Germán told us that he wanted to show that Perez Cruz can deliver summertime drinking reds, and we think he's nailed it! This Grenache has been made in very small quantities (only 1000 cases were made - of which we snapped up 300) from prized vines in their Fundo Liguai de Huelquin vineyard, which deliver wines of great intensity.

Germán Lyon
Viña Perez Cruz is a multi-award-winning winery, receiving rave reviews from customers and wine writers alike. Their immaculate vineyards can be found in the Maipo Valley, long regarded as Chile's premium red-grape-producing region. Their vines are planted on a variety of soil types that imbue the grapes with distinct flavour characteristics. Winemaker Germán Lyon firmly believes that every bottle of wine produced carefully reflects the 'terroir' of Maipo Valley.
"This Grenache is a fresh wine with intense aromas of red fruits, inspired by the wines of Navarra that I admire. A marked acidity and soft tannins provide an elegant and interesting wine." - Germán Lyon, Winemaker.
