As well as his involvement in various other projects, including Finca Sophenia and Zorzal, Matías Michelini runs Passionate Wine, where his enthusiasm and creativity are given free rein. He is affectionately known as the ‘green Michelini’, a name he earned while working at Doña
Paula, due to his desire to pick the grapes early to retain freshness. Once iconoclastic, such ideas are proving increasingly influential. He produces a number of small-lot experimental cuvées, farming biodynamically. This one comes, unsurprisingly, from a plot numbered 84, on sandy soils.

Phil Crozier: Pure and pretty on the nose, with a lot of emphasis on the fruit. Juicy black fruit on the palate, with well-judged oak. Very good indeed.

Paz Levinson: Fresh red and black fruit on the nose, very clean. Protracted and well-constructed palate, clearly the result of very good winemaking.

Patricio Tapia: In a ripe and mellow style, this flows beautifully across the palate.
