Laberinto, Arcillas Riesling 2024

Produced from a small, south-facing vineyard with a significant volcanic influence. A portion of the grapes undergoes extended skin contact before fermentation and maturation in traditional clay vessels and concrete tanks. Eight months on lees builds texture and complexity while preserving the wine's freshness and purity. Bottled without filtration.

High above the shores of Lake Colbún in Chile's Maule Valley, Rafael Tirado has created one of the country's most distinctive wine estates.

Founded in 1993, Laberinto takes its name from the extraordinary labyrinth-like pattern of its vineyards, planted to follow the natural contours of the landscape. At approximatley 700 metres above sea leave, the vines are influenced by the Andes, with volcanic ash and granite soils helping to shape wines of remarkable freshness, texture and individuality.

Tirado's philosophy centres on expressing this unique place through careful vineyard management and thoughtful, minimally interventional winemaking. The resulting wines combine the generous fruit character associated with Chile with elegance, precision and a distinctive mineral edge.

Laberinto has earned considerable international recognition, includinng inclusion among Chile's First Growths in Tim Atkin's classification, establishing Rafael Tirado as one of the country's most exciting producers.
