The 2021 Lunita is a new entry-level unoaked Pinot Noir from a vineyard planted in 1945 that they recovered with the idea to make a more structured wine than the Cincuenta y Cinco, as the soils have calcium carbonate and silt. It's some four kilometers from Chacra, and it's a vineyard he purchased to develop the white wines. It's a little different because the soils are different and so is the massal selection. The idea was to ferment destemmed and without using oak. After a short fermentation in concrete with indigenous yeasts, it matured in concrete tanks for nine months. It's light and fresh, with 12% alcohol and a lower pH than the other reds (3.5). It's fruit driven and primary, perhaps with more fruit than the others. They reckon they need a further three or four years to get the vineyard back to full speed after years of being neglected. The depth and energy is not the same as with the other wines; it's a little simpler than the others but still delicious. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2021. This was first produced in 2019, but I had never tasted it.

Complex blueberry, mulberry, lemon-zest, oyster-shell and crushed-stone aromas with green-olive and thyme undertones. It’s medium-bodied with tightly knit tannins and vibrant acidity. Juicy and savory with delicious mushroom and berry notes, underpinned by salty minerality. Drink from 2023. From biodynamically grown grapes.
