Tasting Notes
Telúrico — meaning "of the earth" — is Wildmakers' most serious wine: 100% old-vine Carignan from the Maule Valley, aged 34 months in first-use French oak barrels followed by one year in bottle. Dark fruit depth, earthiness, and telluric mineral character from 100-year-old organically farmed vines without irrigation. A wine built for ageing and serious occasions.
