Karine Mollenhauer and her husband Edgar Carter have a family winery in the Maule Valley of Chile where they produce small production wines from indigenous grapes. Their idea is to elevate the reputation of Chilean wine through their hard work farming organically with minimal intervention in the cellar. Everything is done by hand, with gravity (instead of pumps), free of synthetic chemicals, minimal intervention of the musts, and always unfiltered. They are making pure wine which expresses the beautiful terroir where they reside between the Pacific Coast and the Andes Mountains.

    The varietal and clean 2020 Aurora de Itata Cinsault has notes of cola nut and bright red berry fruit that makes it perfumed, attractive and pleasant. The palate is marked by the grainy granite tannins and a dry finish. This is 13.5% alcohol, reflecting a warmer vintage. It transported me to the place and soils.
