ORIGINS
Vina Marty Winery, BEST of Lleyda Valley, Chile
Vina Marty is proud to present Goutte D’ Argent (Meaning Silver Drop in French), a very unique wine, fermented with Japanese sake yeast.
Pascal is the only non-Japanese in the world with access to these yeasts with exceptional properties: They are more resistant than regular wine yeast and allow us to vinify at much lower temperatures, impacting the flavour, acidity, final alcohol concentration, and furthermost the texture of the wine. Mixing the wonderful terroir of Chile, techniques of French vinification, and the millenary tradition of Japan, Goutte D' Argent is a cellar treasure.
ABOUT THE VINTAGE
In 2023, both reds and whites enjoyed excellent sanitary conditions and exceptional qualities. Winter brought more water than in previous years, but the average temperatures were higher, allowing us to start the harvest earlier than in previous years. The result was wines that are fresh, balanced, and fully reflect the goal of the winemaking team at Viña Marty.
