Volcanes de Chile Tectonia Grenache/Petite Sirah/Mourvèdre 2021

Sold as a Central Valley red because it partners components from the Cachapoal, Maule and Maipo Valleys, this is a three-way cuvée of Garnacha, 40% Petite Sirah and 15% Mourvèdre. Sappy, intense and stony, it has appealing grip and density, a dusting of wild mountain herbs, some subtle reduction and damson, bramble and red cherry flavours embellished by 20% new wood. Drink date: 2025-2029. Score – 93. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Chile Special Report 2024)
