Underdog Grape · Chile

País

País is the grape Chile spent a century trying to forget, and it makes some of the freshest, cheapest light reds you can pour right now. If you drink Pinot Noir or Beaujolais, this is your next bottle.

Tasting profile
Tart cranberry and wild raspberry over a dusty, faintly earthy grip, so light and high-acid it drinks cool from the fridge.
