Maturana Naranjo Torontel Orange Wine 2022

A torontel from a vineyard planted more than 90 years ago in the Caliboro zone of the Maule Valley’s dry secano interior is the base for this delicious orange wine that has been offering a softer and more elegant take on this style since its first vintage in 2016, a style that has since become popularized to exhaustion. It spent nine months in contact with its skins in concrete eggs, and that has had an impact on its dense and ample body as well as on its candied and ripe flavors. This one is for sea urchins. [A wine that will drink till the end of the decade.] Score – 93. (Patricio Tapia, guiadescorchados.cl, 2023)
