De Martino has pulled a family favourite out of the cellar to toast Virgin Wines' 25th Anniversary! This limited-edition Malbec comes from a small Isla de Maipo vineyard planted in 2000. Aged 14 months in old French oak, it's full of dark berry flavour, a hint of violet and soft, spicy warmth. Perfect for now, or your next big celebration.
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've been enjoying this Malbec at our family dinners for years, so it's a joy to share it for Virgin Wines' 25th Anniversary! Elegant yet full of life, it's our way of saying cheers to great wine and great company." - Nicolás Peréz, Winemaker.
