Castillo De Molina Pinot Noir

Viña^? San Pedro has been crafting wines in Chile for nearly one-hundred and fifty years. Once a pioneer, today a New World^? innovator, along the years San Pedro has helped build an industry stretching from the Elqui Valley to the Bío Bío Valley.

Castillo de Molina was San Pedro's first Reserve^? range of wines and has become a renowned Chilean reserve wine the world over. Its current direction is to identify the best Chilean terroirs for each variety, and thus obtain the highest individual expression for every single one. Castillo today offers eleven varieties, stemming from the most diverse viticultural regions in Chile, including Carménère from Maule, Cabernet Sauvignon from Alto Cachapoal and a smashing Sauvignon Blanc^? from the Elqui Valley. Castillo wines are well known and acknowledged by critics and consumers alike, awarded with numerous prizes, medals and scores in specialized publications and wine blogs.
