Clos des Fous Pais

Itata Valley, Chile

Old-vine País from Itata's ancient granite soils — translucent garnet, wild cherry, dried strawberry, herbs, and the haunting mineral transparency that makes this forgotten variety so compelling. Minimally interventionist, naturally fermented.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's transparency and bright cherry fruit complement the stew's mild richness without overwhelming; herbs in both bridge the pairing
• aperitif: Old-vine País's light structure and wild fruit character cuts through the cured meats; sopaipilla's warmth echoes the wine's spice
