Pedro Parra is a PhD in dirt. He spends a great deal of his day down a giant trench (called a calicata) studying the sub-soils of different wine regions around the world. "Top soil is unimportant" he says. "Without the rocks and stones underneath, there is no terroir". His single vineyard 'Monk' (named after one of his favourite jazz musicians) is 100% Cinsault from ferrous granite soils in Itata. Fragrant, with rose, sage and bloody notes over clear, woody aromas. Rough on the palate with voluminous tannins, it offers just the right amount of freshness and hints of red fruit.

Focused and refined, it has haunting tar, fresh blood and rose petal aromas with engaging underlying freshness, some Christmas spices and a core of chiselled savoury red berry fruit. 2025-32
