Casablanca Valley in Chile has gained international recognition for its exceptional Pinot Noir wines. Situated just north of Santiago and influenced by the cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean, this valley has proven to be an ideal terroir for cultivating this delicate and expressive grape variety. Casablanca Valley Pinot Noir wines are often described as elegant, aromatic, and refined. They typically are medium-bodied, approachable and very food-friendly.
Julio Donoso and Andre Ostertag started Montsecano in 2005. They planted 4 hectares of Pinot Noir in las Dichas, Casablanca and built a small winery and cellar on the property. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and is plowed by horse. The subterranean, geothermal winery is shaped like an egg, and they vinify exclusively with concrete egg and steel tank. Many believe that they produce two of the most highly regarded expressions of Pinot Noir in all of Chile. Julio and Andre incorporate a philosophical aspect that goes deeper than the vine and the energy is manifested on the property and in the bottle. In this case, the wine is 100% fermented and aged in concrete.
