The medium body and fine tannins of this Pinot Noir make it versatile. Its acidity can cut through the richness of seafood and lighter meats, while its berry notes can complement fruit-based sauces. The subtle spice notes can also bridge with certain herbs and seasonings.

## Wine making process

The Maray Limited Edition Pinot Noir is made from 100% Pinot Noir grapes grown in terraced vineyards in the Limarí River valley, about 24 kilometers from the coast. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a period of aging integrated with French oak. This process aims to develop the wine's structure and incorporate subtle oak nuances. The limited production volume of 5,400 bottles indicates a focused approach to winemaking.
