After working with prestigious winemakers across France, South Africa, and even Canada, Roberto returned to his native Chile to make natural wines following local, traditional methods. Though the blend differs every vintage, his 2022 Super Estrella Rosado is made from 100% Moscatel Rosado from 100 year old vines outside the remote village of Coelemu in the Itata Valley. Manually harvested from granite soils, the grapes are destemmed and fermented with native yeast in concrete for two weeks on the skins. Aging takes place on the lees in old oak barrels for a year before the wine is released. The result is a more substantial, well-structured, food-friendly rosé that drinks like a light red or deeper rosé with an orange wine inflection. White flower and citrus peel aromas lead to brambly red berry and tropical pineapple flavors with a saline, slightly bitter, mineral-driven, yet crisp finish. Pairs well with stronger seafood dishes like Caldillo de Congrio, a conger eel stew, or baked clams, as well as strong cheese like a funky Blue or stinky Epoisses.
