Longaví originated as a joint venture between Julio Bouchon and David Nieuwoudt a decade ago. They settled right away in the Maule Valley, producing a variety of wines from both local and international grape varieties. Cementerio is 100% Chenin Blanc from Maule, the grapes coming from the Cementerio estate which is dry-farmed and sits on granite-based soils. The grapes are whole-bunch pressed and fermented in barrels using indigenous yeast. Sulphur is not used and the wines are aged for 12 months on fine lees in old 400L French oak barrels. Amanda Barnes: Shows a flinty, struck-match character on the nose but also honeysuckle, camomile and talcum powder notes, with racy acidity on the palate yet a mouthfilling finish. Ticks so many boxes, and just delicious. Ben Gubbins MW: Flint, nutmeg, asparagus, dairy, quince and apple on the nose, with a rich ripe palate balanced with singing acidity. Creamy texture, good balance, a delectable wine. Dirceu Vianna Junior MW: Intriguing, complex style with lots of personality. Flinty, floral notes, apples, citrus and attractive spiciness. Vibrant, refreshing and persistent.
