From the sun-kissed Curicó Valley in Chile's Central Valley, Viña Echeverría's No Es Pituko Rosé is a lively, unpretentious natural rosé that embodies the Echeverría family's deep-rooted passion for minimal-intervention winemaking—translating to "It's Not Fancy" in Chilean slang, this wine strips away pretense to celebrate the raw essence of the land. With roots tracing back to Basque immigrants in the 1750s who planted vines on Santiago's fringes, the family formalized their estate in 1923 amid Molina's alluvial clay-loam soils, shifting from bulk wines to boutique exports in the 1990s under Roberto Echeverría Rubio's guidance. Today, the fourth generation—led by winemaker Roberto Echeverría—champions organic farming on pre-phylloxera rootstock, influenced by the Pacific's coastal breezes and Andean shadows that foster sustainable viticulture. For this entry in the No Es Pituko lineup, they source hand-harvested País (Chile's Mission grape, known as Païsa), a rustic heirloom variety, fermenting it wild with native yeasts in stainless steel—no additives, sulfites, fining, or filtering—to yield a hazy, vibrant expression at 12% ABV that captures Curicó's diverse terroir of granitic sands and mineral-rich quartz.Pale raspberry pink in the glass with a subtle cloudiness and gentle sheen, it springs to life with an aromatic burst of ripe strawberries, fresh cranberries, and a whisper of banana, laced with subtle green herbaceous notes and a saline mineral edge that evokes the valley's flinty freshness. On the palate, it's medium-bodied and bone-dry, weaving juicy red berry fruits—strawberry and tart cranberry—with creamy texture, zingy acidity, and a grippy, moreish minerality that balances the fruit's vivacity in a refreshing, lingering finish. Dive in now through 2026, served well-chilled (10–12°C) alongside fresh seafood like ceviche, goat cheese salads, grilled prawns, or spicy empanadas—this is Chile's natural rosé renegade, bottled for effortless summer quaffing, proving that true terroir-driven delight thrives without the frills.
