Pais is a red grape variety that until recently was the most widely planted variety in Chile. This iteration shows that it is much more than a one trick pony, making a layered, complex sparkler that is quite attractive on all fronts – particularly the price front. This took a high award at the 2024 Critics Challenge, and it is still delivering. A superior value for its quality!
