The Wine The Wine
Chile
Region:Malleco Valley
The De Martino Tres Volcanes comes from Chardonnay grapes sourced from a vineyard in Malleco (one of Chile's most southern wine regions), located between the Andes and the Nahuelbuta Mountain Range. With its marginal climate, high rainfall and short growing season, it is a challenging region for grape growers. However, a smart winemaker like Nicolás Peréz knows that this is the perfect spot for creating crisp, fresh wines. This Chardonnay has a mellow texture, with clean, focused flavours and a nice compromise between richness and linear freshness.
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.
"We used whole bunch pressing and fermented in used barriques using indigenous yeasts. The wine was then matured in oak foudres for 16 months prior to release to create a richly textured Chardonnay." - Nicolás Peréz, Winemaker.
