In the early days of Chile’s winemaking history, many vineyards were composed of field blends, interplanted with red and white varietals that were later blended for the farmers to enjoy as their everyday drinking wine. The Quartz Light Red Blend is a trip down nostalgia lane and pays tribute to the classic field blends of the area’s pioneers.

 

The vines are grown in soils rich in quartz crystals, which are sacred to many cultures for their physical, emotional, and mental healing powers. The balance found in the resulting wine is so clean and clear that you can skip the crystals because all that’s needed to realign your chakras is another glass of this unique and delicious blend of primarily Pinot Noir, enhanced with Tempranillo and Chardonnay. Our panel thoroughly enjoyed this wine down to the last drop, and we were surprised to find a wine of this quality at this value-level price.
