Vina Maitia Aupa Pipeno Blanco 2021

Varietal: Pedro Ximenez, Pais

Region: Secano Interior, Chile

Tasting Profile: Viña Matia’s Aupa Pipeño Blanco is made predominantly of Pedro Ximenez but made in a dry style by Basque native and Chilean wine evangelist David Marcel. Marcel does an extended skin contact, adding hue and character to what’s normally considered a simple table wine.  Strawberry, rhubarb, almond, peach, and mountain thyme show, making this wine the happy medium between white and rose.

Food Pairing: Cheeses, especially Manchego or gorgonzola, paté, curries, nuts and fresh berries.
