{"product_id":"pipeno-portezuelo-louis-antoine-luyt-chile-natural-wine","title":"Pipeño Portezuelo 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003ePipeño Portezuelo is sourced from 150-year-old, dry-farmed vines tended by farmer Patricio Martinez in the Portezuelo commune of Chile's Itata Valley. The blend is 95% País and 5% Cinsault — known locally as Cargadora — grown on granitic soils that Louis-Antoine Luyt has likened to those of Morgon's Côte du Py in Beaujolais. Chile was never struck by phylloxera, so these vines grow on their original rootstock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and destemmed using a traditional zaranda, then fermented with native yeasts in open-top wooden lagares in the primeur style typical of how local huaso farmers have always made wine for their own tables. A small amount of sulfur is added at bottling. The wine is sold in one-liter bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf all the Luyt Pipeños, Portezuelo is consistently the lightest-bodied and least tannic. It drinks like a chilled Beaujolais cousin from the southern hemisphere: crunchy red cherry, a flicker of cranberry, and earthy, granitic lift on the finish. The 1-liter format and modest ABV make it a genuine everyday table wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting with the 2018 vintage, viticulture and winemaking were fully entrusted to the farmers Louis-Antoine has worked with for over a decade. His name is on the label; the farmer's name appears on the back. Luyt travels to Chile for harvest and early vinification each year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Louis-Antoine Luyt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13452353863735,"sku":"LUYTPORT19C","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/luyt-portezuelo.jpg?v=1780187678","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/pipeno-portezuelo-louis-antoine-luyt-chile-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
