The Wine The Wine
Chile
Region:Casablanca Valley
Chardonnay is a very versatile and malleable grape that can be coaxed into a wide range of styles. Think Chablis versus Aussie, steely and tight versus voluptuous and flashy. The Niebla, a cool-climate Chardonnay, is far closer to the French end of the spectrum, perhaps something to do with the time Seb spent in Burgundy in the past. This wine is all about its acidity and freshness thanks to its coastal proximity. And conveniently, as a result, it goes swimmingly well with food pulled out of the sea!
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.
