Chile
Region:Maipo Valley
The "LOTE" collection, our exclusive range from De Martino, expresses single varietal wines from Chile's iconic regions. Cabernet Sauvignon, arguably Maipo's best suited variety is hand harvested from estate grown fruit from old vines where yields are kept very low. Yields are simply how many grapes are harvested from the vineyard and at De Martino they really do go low on the Cabernet, at just 25 hectolitres per hectare - hence "LOTE 25"! Lovely intensity, cassis notes balanced by leafy freshness and the finish has a lip smacking character that is captivating.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Nicolás Peréz
Nicolás Peréz works alongside the fourth generation of the De Martino family. Although he grew up in Santiago, Chile, during his teenage years he travelled constantly to Chilean Patagonia, where he worked on the culinary project of one of his brothers. This is where he first came into contact with the world of wine, getting to know the different producers that were operating at that time. This experience was key to his decision, at the young age of 14, to become a winemaker. From that moment on, this goal was central to all the decisions he took about his life and studies. Despite his youth, he has gained substantial experience working in different international wineries in California and Australia, before returning to his home of Chile.
At De Martino, the winemaking philosophy is based on minimal intervention on single vineyards, including sustainable farming and traditional winemaking methods. Wines are crafted with native yeast, balanced in alcohol and moderate oak (when needed) to preserve the essence of the vineyards. De Martino is proud to be the first producer to bottle single-varietal Carménère in Chile, the first South American Carbon Neutral winery, Chilean Wine Producer of the Year in 2005 & 2009 by IWSC and Chilean Winery of the Year.
"Maipo experiences a mild Mediterranean climate with a typically dry summer season. Alluvial soils, derived from old deposits of the Maipo River, give birth to wines with a unique elegance and complexity. Most of our work is carried out in the vineyard, balancing the plants through the growing season, achieving the right yields and harvest dates. The work in the winery is a natural process, allowing the grapes character to the fore, all the while maintaining the individuality and expression of each parcel. This Cabernet Sauvignon is lively and fresh with exceptionally ripe tannins." - Nicolás Peréz, Winemaker.
