Item # 39005

Far from your typical Chilean wine, this aromatic white blend is made from old vines of Moscatel, Riesling and Chasselas. The wine is dry and lean yet has honeyed fruit on the palate, chappy minerality and a slight tannic grip. The wine macerates on the skin for two days and is fermented with native yeast and aged in neutral barrel.

Production Methods

Practicing Organic

Wine made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides in the vineyard.

Orange Wine (Skin Contact)

Orange wine is made by using white wine grapes, which are pressed and left in contact with the skins, seeds, and stems for an extended period of time, similar to how red wine is made.

This prolonged maceration extracts color, tannins, and phenols, giving the wine a darker, sometimes orange color. It also produces a wine with more structure and intense flavor.

Maceration times can vary between a few hours to many months, with longer contact giving more color and extraction.

Staff Pick Notes

Rogue Vine is the brainchild of two friends, Justin Decker and Leonardo Erazo Lynch, who are passionate about creativity, diversity, and experiencing life to the fullest. They set out to create wines with character that reflect the unique terroir of the Itata Hills in Chile with minimal intervention and respect for the terroir and biodiversity. The old bush vines are located on steep granite hills right off the Pacific Ocean, all of which heavily influence Rogue Vine wines. 'Grand Itata Blanco' is a can't-miss summer bottle for those who are looking for the perfect refreshing balance of white florals, subtle fruit, and salty minerality. Incredible value and quality from an underrated region! Pair with friends and cold appetizers.

More About This Wine

Chile

Chilean winemakers are known for opening their arms to forgotten European grape varieties, nursing them back to health, and then releasing them back to the rest of the world - and we can’t thank them enough for it. Chile’s friendly, delicious Carmenères are the best example, but Chile is generally one of the most consistent sources of delicious, ready-to-drink, approachable wines. Cabernet Sauvignons from Chile are just as crowd-pleasing as the Carmenères, and keep an eye out for velvety,...

Riesling

Though the trend is now in the other direction, for many years Riesling was known for producing wines with little alcohol and some residual sugar - too sweet for many modern wine drinkers. Though it's now cultivated worldwide, Riesling is nearly synonymous with German wine, and that country's winemakers have lately begun to produce some very exciting dry versions. They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...

Chasselas

A white grape grown all over the world, including Alsace, the Loire, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Italy. The best Chasselas wines, however, are produced in Switzerland, where the grape is called Fendant and is the most widely planted variety in the country. When made well, Chasselas is soft, welcoming and easy to drink.

Blanco

White tequila, an official type (tipo) for tequila bottled fresh from the still, or allowed to rest in stainless steel tanks for up to sixty days before bottling. It is never aged in wooden barrels. Also known as plata, plato, and silver tequila. Usually the most robust, strong-flavoured of the tequila types.
