Roberto Henriquez | Rivera del Notro | Tinto País 2024 | Bio Bío Valley, Chile | 750ml | 11% ABV
Roberto Henriquez is one of Chile's most compelling natural wine producers, working with ancient País vines in the Secano Interior — the dry-farmed interior valleys of the south where this grape has grown, largely forgotten, for centuries. The Rivera del Notro is his most fruit-forward expression: 200-year-old vines planted in alluvial soils on the warmer southern edge of the Bío Bío River, yielding a wine that is juicy, generous, and built for the table.
Where his País Franco tends toward the ethereal and mineral, the Rivera del Notro leans into pleasure. Tart red berries, a firm but approachable tannic grip, and a refreshing acidity that makes it equally at home chilled on a summer afternoon or alongside a proper asado. Serve it slightly cool — this is a red that rewards a few minutes in the fridge.
"Summer has arrived and what a perfect way to enjoy the long summer days than with a bottle of chillable red. At 11% ABV, it's meant to be served chilled — ideal for picnics, park and beach outings. Lots of tart and tangy red fruit, light on the palate, refreshing acidity."
