Casas del Bosque Gran Reserva Pinot Noir

Juan Cúneo Solari founded Casas del Bosque in 1993, at a time when the Chilean wine industry was pursuing quantity over quality.

Coming from 10-15 year old vines planted in red granite hillside soils, located within the coldest and western areas of the Casablanca Valley, 18 km from the Pacific Ocean and at 250 m altitude in the single vineyard of Las Dichas.

The ripening season of 2023 was warm and sunny, therefore there is structure and potential to evolve through time, but at the same time the wine could be enjoyed soon, as warmer vintages imparts a moderate acidity.
