Pitío de Haras de Pirque

Pitío de Haras de Pirque is the everyday entry point into the range of one of Chile's most famous wineries – uncomplicated, with genuine Maipo character in the glass.

Haras de Pirque is located in the Maipo Valley , south of Santiago, at an altitude of approximately 700 meters. Its loamy, gravelly, well-drained soils provide classic terroir for Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate was founded in the 1990s, and its name reflects the farm's stud farm tradition ("Haras" = horse breeding). The Pitío – named after a Chilean woodpecker – represents the estate's down-to-earth approach.

Blackberry and black cherry dominate the glass, complemented by a hint of cedar and mild roasted aromas. The tannins are soft and integrated, the acidity moderate. Medium-long finish with pepper and dark cocoa. Medium-bodied, pleasant texture, ready to drink now.

• Grilled beef or lamb chops

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C . Opening the bottle one hour before pouring allows the fruit flavors to fully develop.
